BLACK COTTAGE CENTRAL OTAGO PINOT NOIR 2022

Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"With dark purple hues, this savoury pinot noir releases lifted aromas of raspberry and dark cherry with hints of iodine and black olive. The palate is full of kirsch cherry and cassis flavours, umami, liquorice and a sprinkling of dried herbs. A focussed frame and crunchy tannins contribute to a glossy mouth feel and a slightly peppery finish."

Rated Excellent & 93/100 Cameron Douglas MS, October 2023 (2022 Vintage)
"An unmistakable bouquet of Central Otago with aromas of black cherry and plum, there’s a savoury thyme and mineral quality then scents of oak, crumbled rocks, fresh air and roses. A lighter weighted wine touches the palate then a burst of red berry fruit and spice flavours with a savoury edge. Polished tannins and a youthful acid line all add up to a delicious dry wine centering on variety and finish. Best drinking from late 2024 through 2028+. Excellent value, a wine that punches well above its weight and price."

5 Stars & 93/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, October 2023 (2022 Vintage)
"This is immediately appealing on the nose with sweet cherry, floral, clove, almond and dried mushroom aromas. The palate is equally attractive with supple texture and juicy fruit flavours, finishing long and silky. Harmonious and soothing, making it delightfully drinkable. At its best: now to 2027."
