Rockburn 'The Art' Pinot Noir 2016
As the aromas point out this is a powerful, complex, wine packed with rich dark berry fruit and plum characters, hints of toasted oak and green herbal notes that are all supported by a firm tannin structure. Wonderful sweet liquorice notes fill the very long finish that has just the right amount of juicy acidity to add freshness. A beautifully crafted wine, beautifully structured, packed with flavour and understated power.
This is an expensive wine by any standard but it is such a beautifully crafted wine it can wear its price tag with pride.
