Askerne Pinot Noir 2021, Hawkes Bay

Great colour with vibrant ruby and purple hues. The varietal core of fruit drive the bouquet with scents of dark plum and black cherry flesh. Layers of wood spices and crushed stone minerality sit between scents of slaty air and barrel spices. Pn the palate - the dry wine reveals a core of youthful dark red bery fruit flavours with doris plums and baked raspberry, black currant and cherry. Tannins are firm and youthful, ripe and textured. Acidity carries flavour adding its own texture and showcasing the brown spices of wood. A lovely example, well made, complex and lengthy. Best drinking from 2023 through 2031+.
