Black Estate Damsteep Pinot Noir 2021, North Canterbury

A bouquet and palate of wine only just beginning to settle into its stride. A core of complexity and power, a savoury varietal core with fruit intensity, plenty of oak and associated barrel spice qualities. There’s still a little youthful reductive highlights that drift seamlessly into the background on the third and fourth sip. Dry, with core fruit flavours of blackcurrant and plums, some darker skinned cherry fruits and a savoury mineral core. Tannins are fine through just moderate, polished and chalky, plenty of acidity to extend the youth. Well made and ready to drink from 2027 through 2037+.
