Cloudy Bay Te Wahi Pinot Noir 2017

Cloudy Bay’s Central Otago Pinot Noir is a boldly fruited wine with damson plum and black cherry aromas plus some dried thyme giving a savoury edge but still retaining a lovely violet floral lift. The palate walks the line between ripe silky fruit and finely grained, cinnamon-edged tannin. A dense, impressive wine that is already approachable though would benefit from another couple of years in bottle.
