Doctors Flat Pinot Noir 2020
Central Otago, New Zealand
TEXTBOOK BANNOCKBURN PINOT NOIR.
QUALITY ALL THE WAY.
96/100 | Emma Jenkins MS, Decanter
FIVE STARS 96/100 | Sam Kim, Wine Orbit - "Wonderfully fruited with seductive complexity, finishing impressively long and refined."
95/100 'Outstanding' | Cameron Douglas MS
95/100 | Jane Skilton MW
This wine was selected for the Fine Wines of New Zealand List.
Vinted from fruit from a single 3 hectare block in Bannockburn, this is premium pinot noir. Winemaker Steve Davies (formerly at Akarua and Carrick) focuses on organic production and farming to improve soil health and the resulting wine is concentrated and mouthfilling with flavours in the dark berry spectrum. While drinking beautifully now, the real magic here will unfold over the next 4 - 6 years and patience will certainly be rewarded.

Tasting Notes
Cameron Douglas MS writes "Distinctive, floral, fruity and mineral centric bouquet. Aromas and flavours of dark roses and black cherry flesh, sweetness from new barrel and spices from some smoky wood accentuate the power of this youthful wine. As the wine touches the palate a satin touch shows first then contrasting structure from ripe tannins and medium+ acid line. Fruit flavours expand to include black currant and some plum, then a line of oak re-emerges layering in complexity and depth."
Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "Wonderfully fruited with seductive complexity, showing dark berry, rich floral, olive, roasted nut and savoury nuances, leading to a concentrated palate offering terrific weight and richly textured mouthfeel. Wonderfully framed by beautifully melded tannins, finishing impressively long and refined."
