Ata Rangi Pinot Noir Martinborough

This is pure, scented and delicate on the mid-palate counterbalanced by its density. It's a pretty expression, with sweet up-front plum fruit and a fine line of acidity and sinew, drawing this wine out on the medium-long finish. The whole bunch component has risen from 20% to 35% since 2013.

Like many of this renowned producer's wines, this is a bottle to take your time with. It changes with every pour, from bright cranberry and raspberry fruit to licorice; from dried roses and violets to sandalwood and savory spice. The palate is medium bodied and silky textured with tightly wound, leathery tannins and fruit that feels like you could take a bite out of it. Through it all, Ata Rangi's signature mineral streak. For all its appeal, however, this wine is still a baby, elegant and complex but austere. Give it another year in the bottle, and drink until 2029.

Tæt duft med røget bacon, hindbær og røde blomster. Koncentreret vin domineret af toast og en lidt slikket karakter. Fin saftighed og kompleksitet. Lang finish.

92P+: Læskende, elegant, masser af jordbærnote, nydelig syre, fornem balance, ret solid frugt, slutter let krydret - kunne vinde ved lagring.
