Medium- to near full-bodied with fine wood and fruit tannins, medium+ (ish) acid line and a Brazil-nut butter highlight. Balanced, well made and ready to drink from day of purchase through 2027. The acid line and citrus highlights along with a developing mineral and piquant frame are key highlights remaining persistent as the wine opens out in glass.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100\u003c\/strong\u003e — Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy · 2022 Vintage, Tasted: Dec 2023\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout This Wine\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFruit for this wine is sourced from Bannockburn in Central Otago.
