2001FrommLaStradaPinotNoir

Sans Another magnificent New Zealand Pinot!Outstanding colour for Pinot Noir.Deep crimson colour with mauve hue.Aroma of rhubarb, black cherry, spice and wild strawberries �a delightful sniff!The palate starts off a touch drier than say the 2002 Ata Rangi, going into a short dip revealing flavours of spice, black cherry, strawberry and spice, and just as one begins to feel a touch of disappointment, the second flavour wave emerges to reveal magnificent Pinot Noir power.Perfectly balanced with velvet smooth tannins which lead into an aftertaste that lasts for minutes.Cellar 4-5 years (2008-2009)Alc/Vol: 13.5%
