2022 Amisfield Pinot Noir

A ripe, fleshy medium bodied Central Otago Pinot.

Includes approximately 15% whole bunch fruit with maturation taking place in French barriques for a period of 15 months. Dark red core with black toned edges and a red to dark red hue. Intense dark cherry, anise, strawberry and violet scents engulf the olfactory senses trailed by some spicy vanillin cedar, earth and dried herb notes. Ripe and fleshy, the medium bodied palate is layered with spicy dark cherry, anise, dark plum and strawberry flavours. Vanillin cedar, scorched earth and dried herb elements lie underneath. Polished yet sturdy tannin structure with a long spicy finish.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
Alc. 14%

Other Reviews……
Aromas of dark cherries, dried strawberries, iodine, potpourri and river stones. The medium-bodied palate has finely integrated tannins and bright acidity. Tightly wound with a powerful undertone that will unravel nicely in bottle. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
