Ata Rangi McCrone Pinot Noir 2020

97 POINTS - The Real Review, Bob Campbell "Quite a fragrant/floral aroma with more plum, dark cherry, wood smoke, liquorice and nutty oak evident on the palate. Seamless, silken texture that is appealing now but promises to get even better with bottle age. The wine opened up as it sat in the glass and deserves to be aerated. " Exquisite nose of rose petal, sweet raspberry and spice. Bold and juicy entry to the palate, with primary fruit combining with herbal and iron ore notes. There is a brooding, savoury note to the glossy and vibrant palate. The benefit of careful cellaring before release is showing in the suppleness and length of the tannins. Excellent release.
