Monte Christo Winery 'Pisa' Pinot Noir 2023, Central Otago

Great colour and intensity with a bouquet of site and complexity, a varietal core of dark berries and dried raspberry then an earthy quality with some fine barrel spice highlights. Dry, savoury, dried herb then fruits touch the palate first, flavours of dark plum and raspberry are ushered in by the back bone of acidity and fine spice payers from oak and associated tannins. An excellent structure, mouthfeel and finish, a wine best cellared with best drinking from 2028 through 2038.

I also feel this wine is drinkable today with carefully selected cheese or main course with medium+ protein at the core.
