Mount Brown North Canterbury Pinot Noir 2017 $21.99
I first tasted this wine in April 2018 and upon recently re-tasting it, I had to adjust my notes because it’s maturing into something rather sensational. Bright crimson in the glass and bursting with redcurrant, wild strawberry, raspberry and cherry notes on the nose and palate, the acidity is still super-fresh, injecting succulence and freshness and accentuating the spice layers in every sip. It’s a plush, lush example that’s superb value for money and should be experienced immediately!
