Villa Maria Taylors Pass Pinot Noir 2021, Marlborough, NZD $60
Firmly-structured wine with intense black-fleshed plum, cassis, liquorice, strong spicy oak and a subtle floral lift adding charm to an otherwise robust red. Complex wine offering good cellaring potential. A thread of vibrant acidity gives the wine energy. Delicious, mouth-watering pinot noir. (Screwcap)
