Neudorf Toms Block Pinot Noir 2023

Cameron Douglas MS writes "There’s no mistaking the sense of place when first nosing this wine, scents of clay and stones then red fruits of plum and cherry. A soft layer of wood smoke with baking spice moments then a fruit spice layers in breadth and depth to a fresh vibrant bouquet. A dry wine with moderate weight touches the palate first then a flourish of red fruit flavours, rose and wood spices follow adding complexity and power. A slightly lighter weighted wine that has complexity and texture. Tannins have a fine grainy feel and acidity carries flavour and crispness throughout the palate."

The winery writes "Cocoa powder tannins are interwoven with notes of summer berries, warm spices and seductive leather. Tom’s natural “Moutereness” offers a sophisticated restraint, keeping this lush and moreish wine beautifully balanced."
