The Better Half Pinot Noir 2023

Immediately enticing bouquet of fresh cherry and plum scents then a fine savoury spice quality, lees and dried herb. Satin-smooth touch on the palate with contrasting textures from fine tannins and acidity. Flavours mirror the bouquet with an added baking spice layer. Lees and mineral, fruit and dried herb all deliver simultaneously. Balanced, well made and ready to drink from 2025 through 2028. Premium. Score – 91.
