Community Tasting Notes 1

  April 8, 2017 - The colour of my Picnic Pinot was more garnet than ruby red, very transparent, very clear and all the way to its corona still continously colourful. Its nose showed vital rosehips, dried hay, perhaps a hint of wild roses, Volvic mineral water, more red currant than raspberries and nicely reduced fragrances which reminded me of dark earth. Overall a really well balanced, mostly fruit-driven and quite characterful entry-level Pinot nose from Central Otago - which was totally free from warm or rich seeming allures. Its taste was determined, honest and very straight forward. Very lively, quite crisp – really good acid, and packed with well balanced aromas of red currants and some raspberries. Traces of the dried hay and reduced mineral aspects seemed a bit more shy, but still quite convincingly integrated. Everything on the palate seemed very cool and relaxed. No oak, alcohol or candy sweetness issues at all –> a balance you don't find that easy in entry-level Pinots from Central Otago ... just my opinion. Indeed a very sociable Pinot Noir. Well, sociable for people who have an understanding for lean, direct, a bit forthright and crisp Pinot, I guess. For others it might be a bit too light and even a bit too serious. I really enjoyed this one! Showing great at the moment! A most definite decent, perhaps even very decent Pinot from the end of the long white cloud.
