2015 Pegasus Bay Pinot Noir

Deep dark red core with black tinged edges showing excellent depth. Perfumed aromatics of violets, ripe dark cherries, black cherries and anise show great intensity. Ensuing is smoky cedar, subtle forest floor and spice elements. Rich with a lush, fleshy textural feel, a sturdy tannin base and bright acidity, a powerful core of dark to black cherries and dark plum fruit laced with anise floods the mouth. Elements of subtlety smoked cedar characters, earthy forest floor and spice sit beneath. Outstanding power wave with a long spicy dark and black cherry, dark plum, anise, smoky cedar and subtle forest floor aftertaste.
Cellar 6-8 years.
Alc. 13.5%

Other reviews….
Super vibrant with plenty of earthy forest floor aromas as well as toasted spices. The palate reveals a core of pristine dark cherry fruit flavor, beautifully judged ripe tannins and a level of effortless depth that singles this out as a consistently great New Zealand pinot noir. Drink now. Screw cap.
