Akarua Pinot Noir 2023, Bannockburn, Central Otago

Powerful bouquet of ripe dark skinned cherry with spice and smoky oak overlay. Scents of dried herbs and bracken, raspberry and a reductive youthful tension. A satin touch from acidity and core red fruit flavours then textures from firm youthful tannins, savoury touches and stony soil complexities. This wine is very youthful still with flavours and textures that need to settle. Best drinking from 2027 through 2034+.
