2024 Denton Estate Pinot Noir

Fresh and energetic with juicy red fruits that are delivered with terrific power.

Semi translucent, slightly cloudy red colour with a very light red hue. The fragrant nose serves up perfumed like aromatics of violet, red cherry, winter strawberry, subtle clove, fresh herb and forest floor notes. Fresh and energetic, the palate features juicy red cherry, strawberry and red liquorice fruits. Some blood orange, infusions of fresh herbs, forest floor and spice extend across the back half. Smooth in its flow, it has gently tangy acidity and polished tannins. Terrific power with a long and supple yet vibrantly fresh finish.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.
Alc. 13.8%

Other Reviews…..
From a single block, planted with MV6 in 2004. Significantly better than the '24 Shed Pinot Noir and for not a whole lot more in price. A bright ruby-red colour precedes a well-defined bouquet of redcurrant and cranberry together with summer flowers. The palate is elegant, with gently crunchy tannins rounding out a very well-put-together wine to drink now and over the next three to five years at least. Drink by 2030.

A close-planted, north-easterly vineyard of MV6 is the home of this Pinot, which shows intense, ripe aromas without being excessive. The nose is delightful, with heady aromas of red cherry, strawberry, confectionery, rhubarb and some earthiness and stemminess – the tertiary characters are still yet to present themselves. The Pinot is still quite a youngster, as it often takes a while for it to settle down in bottle and show its best, so while it’s lovely now, it’ll get even better with a bit more bottle age.
