2022 Moorooduc McIntyre Pinot Noir

Pale ruby hue with a savoury and complex nose that is a little shy at first, but reveals dark cherry, bitter chocolate, violet, blood orange, star anise and a touch of soy. The wine is elegant yet muscular on the palate, with savoury cherry and roast duck notes, firm velvety yet earthy tannins and a bright tangy, almost raspberry like acidity on the finish. This wine is quite closed still and is very structured with excellent length. It will appreciate a good decant before drinking in its youth.
