Toi Toi Reserve Pinot Noir 2021, Central Otago

A wine I tasted over 3 days. Days 1 & 2 - a vibrant and intense bouquet of red berries, natural fruit and barrel spices, a light savoury quality and hard stone earthy qualities. Firm tannins and acid line deliver a wine of tautness and palate intensity. Day 3 - now becoming more harmonius and reflective of its origins with a thyme and raspberry core, mineral earth and complex layers of spice and flowers. Still taut with a youthful squeeze on the palate, there’s a generosity and delicious mouthfeel that is sustained and complex. With a lengthy finish this wine will benefit from cellering. Best drinking likely from 2027 through 2034.
