Elephant Hill Pinot Noir 2024

Central Otago, New Zealand

★ 4 ½ stars - 92pts 

Purple flashes in the glass, with defined aromas of dark cherry, black plum, and raspberry, lifted by a violet floral note. Earth, dried mushroom, and thyme with cedar, spice, and a drop of cola, layer below. The medium-bodied palate features dense berry fruit through the mid-palate, fine yet grippy tannins and firm structure, all held in check by the cool acid line. Balanced and integrated - a punchy little Pinot, that's generous now and will keep evolving.

Enjoy now to 2033.
