Delta Vineyard Pinot Noir 2005
Marlborough, South Island, New ZealandThe '05 Delta PN has better colour and more weight than the '04 and less rhubarb. The style is still fairly dry with spicy sour black cherry fruit aromas flecked with vanilla and orange peel aromas. The palate is richer with darker fruit flavours and more appealing pinot character. It's also fattened up a bit to its benefit. Good solid New World pinot at a great price.Tasted: 31 December 2006Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $24.95 | 750ml | speculative listing - Brave New Wines |
