Palliser Estate, tasting note (fusws.api.aspedia.io – linket fra palliser.co.nz, hentet 2026-10-19): 2022 Palliser Estate Pinot Noir – druer: Pinot Noir; alkohol 13.5%. Producentens noter (engelsk): Palliser Estate Pinot Noir 2022 A savoury, structured and beautifully layered Pinot Noir. Pale ruby, bright and clear. Juicy and expressive with lavish helpings of cherry and spice, a wall of velvety tannins enveloping your palate to remind you of its future potential. Fine, piquant acidity refreshes as the long, complex finish lingers long after you’ve swallowed. An elegant and complex style of Pinot, showing off our Palliser terroir. An enticing, entrancing nose of black cherries, raspberry, smoky oak, pomegranate and star anise. Enjoy with Peking Duck, butterflied lamb or fresh venison. Harmonious and delicious now, this wine can be cellared with confidence for a decade or more from vintage.
