Charteris 'Central Otago' Pinot Noir 2022

Deep crimson garnet with a ruby purple glow While there is power and depth here there is also clarity. Dense Doris plum and dark cherry deliver a freshness and lift over brown spice rack complexity. There is a deep core of primary fruit and a hint of warm baking spice and cinnamon buns leading into spiced raspberry with hints of red rose petal. A generous yet juicy entry with plum and dark cherry over raspberry coulis. Super fresh with hints of cherry ripe and long, so long, intense but open and supple. The tannins are very slippery and seductive but finish with resonant energy, lively but silky at the same time. The whole bunch and oak, almost invisible but structurally sub textural. Velvet and cherry through to the finish. With a seemingly endless line of flavour, 5 to 8 years in the cellar without too much trouble.
