Forrest Estate Pinot Noir 2005
|
BN#230796 |
Our Pinot vines are now on average 10 years old, and are developing greater depth of fruit complexity and tannin structure as they age, balancing Wines that combine grace and generosity, when they are treated with restraint and respect. Our 2005 Pinot was fermented in small open-top tanks, hand plunged, and aged in 40% new/60% neutral French barrels. I believe in allowing Marlborough’s lovely fruit flavours to shine through, without burying them under oak.
Wine Spectator
Lithe, with very good intensity to cinnamon, cherry and flint flavors. Tangy, sinuous structure and cedary oak shape the finish. Drink now through 2010.
Score: 88.
