Paddy Borthwick Paper Road Pinot Noir 2021, Wairarapa

An enticing core of red berry fruits, spice and plum lead the bouquet with scents of cherry, cranberry and red currants laced with a soft silty mineral quality and some light smoky barrel highlights. Equally expressive on the palate with flavours that mirror the bouquet. There’s a core of earth and barrel flavours alongside the fruit flavours that reflect the bouquet. Fine to moderate tannins with a crunchy acid line adding complexity and length. Well made, youthful and delicious. Best drinking from 2023 through 2029.
