Eastern Peake Original Block Pinot Noir 2022

Sourced from the original 1989 plantings, all MV6 clones, formerly known as the OB terroir bottling. 22 dozen produced. All destemmed and 12 months in barriques. Deeply pigmented, black cherry, pomegranate molasses and prune plums. Mulberry and black fig. Cocoa nib, coffee bean and nigella seed. There is plenty of concentration and granite like immovability to the bass tones. Acidity swells and tannins are richly interwoven into the wine already, providing solid foundations. A hint of blood plum and cassis to finish. This wine will age beautifully and I think not yet quite drinking at its peak. Cellar for another 2-3 years to begin to see where it can go. Drink with sauteed mushrooms and black pudding on toast.
