2013 Ata Rangi Pinot Noir

Excellent depth of colour displaying a very dark red black tinged core with a bright crimson red hue. Perfumed scents of dark cherries are intermixed with hints of violets, anise and ripe strawberries with underlying meaty game like characters and spicy cedar end notes. Light to medium weight the palate possesses ample richness and a fantastic power wave yet is relatively tightly structured. Mouthfilling flavours of dark and black cherries interplay with nuances of dark plum, faint anise, dried meats, lightly toasted cedar and spice. Dryish finish with tightly grained tannins providing ample structure, grip and a muscular feel. Very long aftertaste of dark and black cherries, spicy dried meats and lightly toasted cedar. A magnificent Ata Rangi that will blossom into something very special in years to come.
