Invivo X, SJP Marlborough Pinot Noir 2023

Splendidly ripe and fragrant, the bouquet shows dark cherry, thyme, clove and toasted almond characters, leading to a silky-smooth palate that’s supple and fleshy. Gorgeously framed by finely infused tannins, it’s plush and complex. At its best: now to 2030. Score – 94. (Sam Kim, wineorbit.co.nz, Aug. 2024)
