pure and bright

there are no single vineyard wines

It finishes in convincing style considering the growing season

Less autolytic in style than the 2004

Felton Road, Bannockburn Pinot Noir other_regions_italy pure and brightNormal year. Vibrant garnet. Sweet, rather jewelly nose the Pinot most like a typical Central Otago Pinot so far to me (though this is probably not the intention at Felton Road). Not that long. Quite a bit of tannin and dryness now, but perhaps this is the minerality aimed for? Not the most generous fleshy wine at the moment. Wait?
