Q Pinot Noir 2021, Waitaki Valley

Great colour and polish with a bouquet of complexity and place. Aromas of stony almost granitic soils then ripe red fruits of plums and cherries, compote and dark red apple skin. Layers of wood and a whisper of barrel smoke add texture to the bouquet. On the palate a wine of equal complexity with an excellent mouthfeel and vibrato from polished tannins and refreshing acid line. The combination of mineral, fruit and wood flavours set against the frame of tannins and acidity make for an excellent drink today or in the future. Best drinking from 2025 through 2035.

I tasted this wine previously thinking it would be ready from 2023, no longer the case, a wine that is still developing and will age well.
