Folium Vineyard Reserve Marlborough Pinot Noir 2020

Description

Cherry, Oak, Vanilla

"Complex and new, fragrant and layered. Aromas of flowers and clay earth mineral qualities, wild red berries from the forest then quietly spoken aromas of oak and mild toasty wood attributes. The bouquet is youthful and high energy, but also complex and enticing. Dry on the palate this is a wine of complexity and charm as well as youthful and vibrato. Tannins and acidity at the core of the structure dominate the wine’s texture base. There’s also core fruit flavours that reflect the bouquet. This wine needs time to settle more and find its harmony with best drinking from 2026 through 2036+" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Mar 2023

"There's a distinct savory earthiness with truffles, forest floor and white pepper underneath wild raspberry and cherry fruit. Cloves and licorice, too. Complex and layered, with a medium body and finely-knit tannins. Sophisticated. Drink or hold" James Suckling, Mar 2022

Light red with garnet hints. Fresh and vibrant red fruits with a slight vanilla and tomato leaf aroma. Textural and fine with sweet, refined cherry and berry fruits and a seductive, smooth mouthfeel. There’s concentration and substance here, as well as brightness and finesse.
