Soft rich and reasonably silken Pinot Noir that achieves more concentration and a better texture than most Central Otago wines from this vintage. It displays an array of red fruit spice chocolate and new leather flavours. Amisfield Pinot Noir has achieved a remarkable consistency in style and quality with this wine over many vintages.

I reckon this wine has a fair bit to offer. It's fleshy and fruity and not at all lacking in the flavour department - as we've come to expect from Central Otago pinot noir. It offers a decent mouthful of cherry-plum fruit flavour and while these flavours have a gentle sweetness - as you'd expect from ripe fruit - I'd almost call it a savoury style due to its earthy spicy highlights. But what i really like about this wine is its chalky tannin and indeed chalky flavour through the finish. It gives it something extra.
