Black Cottage Reserve Pinot Noir Central Otago 2013

A much-appreciated wedding gift wine. I drank it out of one of the new Eisch pinot wine glasses we were also given.

13.5%. Dark carmine, slightly cloudy.

Closed, dumb nose. Some red cherries. Over time it became more piquant.

Good fruit weight, lots of mouth-filling flavours of soft ripe red fruits. Tannic mid-palate, spicy finish. Long and expansive. Great with dinner.
