NEW ZEALAND : CENTRAL OTAGO Pinot Noir
Shun Kikuchi
Serious Pinot. Damp forest and earthy aroma, blueberry, cedar, hint of oak. Dry, mid+ acidity and mid tannin. Closed and well structured. Excellent Bourgogne style. Took 1 hr at least to open. enjoyable now but better to wait more. ABV13.5^

Comes across a bit too ripe for my tastes, especially on the nose. Bordering on raisining cherry fruit. Lots of bright red fruit and chocolate. If that's your thing, you will like it. Very satiny mouthfeel which I really dig.

Great quality for the price. Blend of fruit from BC and some nearby vineyards. A bit lighter and fresher than the Burn Cottage bottling, but also more straightforward.

One of my favorite central otago PN producer. Elegance married with drinking pleasure. ABV and acid levels make it good friendly.

Much softer and rounder than its C.O. peers. The mineral and flintiness is reigned in by wood, preceded by dark red fruits and warm aromatics. Not gonna lie - totally drank this whilst gorging on Fergburger.

Open floral berry nose, red fruit sweet palate with low key background tannins. Very drinkable. Next night had faded significantly.
