Jules Taylor OTQ SV Pinot Noir 2016 Marlborough

Striking colour and aromas of raspberry, black cherry, plum; crushed rose, vanilla led baking spices, fresh new French oak suggestion, vibrant, forward, youthful. On the palate – juicy, fleshy, very fruity with flavours directly reflecting the bouquet; silky textures, abundant fine tannins, medium+ acidity, whole berry ferment notes, lengthy finish. Very youthful yet lush and attention grabbing. Drink from 2019 through 2026.
