Bellbird Spring River Terrace Pinot Noir 2011
Waipara Valley, South Island, New ZealandBlack cherry, spicy, tobacco leaf, savoury, floral, rhubarb, vanilla and light coffee aromas. Dry, fresh, smooth, elegant palate with light tannins but good finesse. Juicy rhubarb, raspberry, peppery, spicy, orange peel, coffee, vanilla, dried herb and leather flavours. A touch warm on the finish but offers good delicacy and balance that should age well for the next 2-4 years.Tasted: 28 May 2013Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $40.00 | 750ml | speculative - Evolution Fine Wines |
