Freshly sliced ripe strawberry with hints of rose stem, baking spices, and bark follow through to a medium body with integrated tannins and a fine and polished finish. Racy and complex. Classy. JS
Pegasus Bay Prima Donna Pinot Noir 2015 - Aged Release
It is deep ruby in colour, with brownish flecks towards the edge. The nose is a feast of vibrant red fruit suggesting raspberry, plum and pomegranate, anchored with a savoury underlay of spicy pepper, cinnamon, mushroom and black olive tapenade. Extended bottle age has given this wine a wonderfully complex and captivating bouquet. The palate is powerfully expressive, with a rich and textured mouth-feel, replete with velvety tannins and a seam of refreshing acidity that delivers a long and satisfying close.

A bit of reduction on the nose but with some air you are greeted with lovely aromas of Hungarian paprika, coriander, bark, baked strawberries, raspberries and pitted red cherries. Medium- to full-bodied with silky, fruit-soaked tannins. A bit of modern woody spice add texture and depth to the bevy of red fruit and berries on the palate. Elegant and lingering. Delicious and will age wonderfully. Sustainable. JS
