Shiny-new and showing a tonne of potential, this Central Otago-grown pinot noir has classic blueberry, rosehip and cherry aromatics and buckets of raspberry on the front palate.  It’s refreshing and young and the acidity is right up front, however it’s looking like it’ll morph into a lightly-styled, elegant example that’ll do well in a good-sized, swirlable glass.  That’ll let the aromas live their best life and be all they can be. 4.5 stars
