2021 Rockburn The Art Pinot Noir, Central Otago

Complex, elegant, lifted, sophistiscated, a wine with aromas of ripe red berry fruits, red stone fruits, plum and barrel spices. There’s a sense of place within the bouquet and this follows through to the palate with a dried herb and gravelly clay soil quality. Tannins are firm, ripe and along with the acidity lay the foundation for texture and ageing. There’s a tautness to the palate highlighting the youthful nature. Plenty of fruit and sweetbrrel spice flavours. A lovely wine with length and complexity. Well made.
