Community Tasting Note

90 Points

Friday, August 28, 2020 - Typicity of region on display here, all dense and black-fruited, almost ribena concentration with plums, cedar, blackberry and something vaguely herbal and sorta ashy/smoky in the background. Sweet fruit to it, something sort of porty and liquorice like creeping in, showing some development. Chewy palate, feels dense but with a strong tartness to the fruit. Faint sandy tannins. Not really how I like my Pinot but I appreciate that this is how it goes in Otago. Not sure how much more this has in the tank, the fruit profile is starting to dry out and with time I feel it will lean more into that anonymous old dry red zone. A little hot on the finish too.
