2008 Shingle Peak Pinot noir

2008 Shingle Peak Pinot noir (featuring Chris)
Gift from Nigel and Janine in New Zealand.

Straight up strawberries and cream, then raspberries. Unexpected side of barn yard.
Smell is very interesting! Very much more like malborough style than central otago.

Quality.

Surprisingly short and tangy finish. After giving it a thorough glass to glass decant, it relaxed and softened. Also feels quite hot although only 13% alcohol.

Interesting but between styles for me.

61 points.

  1. By the look on Chris' face I'm not sure he agrees with you!
