Rockburn ‘The Art’ Central Otago Pinot Noir 2010 $80 ★★★★★
Deep and brooding in the glass, it oozes sweet black tea, black cherry and spice while in the mouth it reveals a peacocks-tail of flavours redolent of dried herbs, succulent plum and cocoa characters. It’s a masculine yet elegant wine with real finesse, tension and a smoky, seductive length. I’d love to try this again in a couple of years. www.rockburn.co.nz
