Burn Cottage

Burn Cottage Pinot Noir 2014 Central Otago
Complex, fragrant, alluring and significant bouquet of Pinot Noir: Fragrant and organic layers with ripe red berry fruits, soft brown baking spices and complex layers of earth and dried herbs. On the palate - dry, fine and layered with youthful chalky tannins, plenty of acidity and packed with fine red berry fruit flavours; floral too with soft borrage and violet moments; lengthy finish. A delightful example that will age well into the 2020s.

Burn Cottage Gibbston Pinot Noir 2014 Central Otago
Soft bouquet, quite fragrant and ripe with crushed black cherry and dark red apple skin; light brown spices and light toasty oak suggestions. On the palate - plenty of red fruit flavours laced with soft brown spice with a core of mineral and savoury complexities; fine to moderate tannins, medium+ acidity and lengthy finish, a complete wine, great balance and length. Drink now if decanted or cellar till 2020.
