2019 Glaetzer-Dixon La Judith Pinot Noir, Southern Tasmania

The 2019 Pinot Noir Judith is starting to hit its straps with complex layers of cherry and cranberry with a dusting of fennel seed, while extended time in oak has provided a strong overall frame. Ethereal on the palate, it slowly gives up ham bone, rhubarb, red cherry and star anise flavours against a background of undergrowth and spice, in a lively package of dusty tannins and fresh acidity that grows to a youthful and vibrant finish. Expect this to build beautifully over the next decade. Drink to 2042.
