Rockburn Pinot Noir 2023 [CD 95]

Gold Medal - Aotearoa Regional Wine Competition 2024

95/100 - Cameron Douglas MS "Immediately enticing bouquet with complexity and spice, ripe red berry fruit aromas of raspberry and plums, some blackcurrant and dried herb complexities. Dry and complex on the palate with flavours, textures and a delicious mouthfeel. Judicious use of oak with some toasty spice layers, varietal and new, ripe tannins and backbone of acidity. Well made with best drinking from as early as late 2024 through 2034." - July 2024

5 Stars (95/100) - Sam Kim (Wine Orbit) - "Seductively perfumed, the enticing bouquet shows dark plum, violet, olive and mushroom nuances with an elegant oak infusion. The palate offers excellent concentration and weight, wonderfully complemented by plush texture and finely pitched tannins. Wonderfully harmonious and persistent with stylish complexity. At its best: 2025 to 2036. www.rockburn.co.nz. July 2024".
