McArthur Ridge 'Southern Tor' Pinot Noir 2024, Alexandra, Central Otago

Very bright and fruity with a varietal core of dark raspberry and plum fruits, wild flowers and dried herbs, violets and layers of barrel spice. Youth and energy. On the palate a dry wine with a powerhouse of fruit and style, players of red berry fruits and barrel spice moments, lees and earth smoke. Firm tannins and medium+ acid line deliver a wine of freshness and style. Will need some cellar time to show its true potential with best drinking likely from 2029 through 2035. I am keen to try this wine again in a year to confirm its potential.
