Tasting notes:
Another, perhaps just slightly more refined and less mature, Pinot Noir Reserve from Rose Family Estate in Marlborough is delicious, though youthful. Very fragrant with plenty of crunchy stone cherries and hints of smoky meat and coal. Intense, long and complex with excellent freshness. Lovely and elegant, the wine will make a good partner for poussin stuffed with wild, red and white rice in a redcurrant sauce. The wine needs a little more time in bottle to come into its prime.
