Ceres Central Otago Pinot Noir 2022

Its splendidly ripe and enticing on the nose, showing dark cherry, clove, warm mushroom and toasted nut aromas. The palate displays excellent weight and supple mouthfeel, beautifully framed by silky texture and polished tannins, making it sturdy yet smooth and rounded with a lingering satisfying finish. At its best: now to 2032.

Ceres Composition 22PNCO – Quite light in colour yet still shows a ruby core with a pink rim and developing garnet hue. Aromas and flavours of a developing wine, some savoury dried herb then fruit flavours of plum and cherry with some raspberry moments. Tannins are easy on the palate, dissolving away within a minute, acidity offers a decent crispness and some crunch. Overall a fairly simple expression with a core of pinosity and savoury Otago landscape earthiness. Well made and ready to drink from late 2024 through 2028+. 91-92 Points
