Moss Wood Pinot Noir 2018
75cl / 14%
“Sweetly fruited and splendidly complex, the bouquet shows Black Doris plum, dried herb, clove, cedar and game characters, leading to a wonderfully weighted palate delivering expansive mouthfeel and fleshy texture.
It’s gorgeously framed by loads of polished tannins, making it powerfully structured and elegantly poised at the same time, promising a graceful future. At its best: 2024 to 2038.”

This vintage is right amongst our best and so we have high expectations for cellaring. The bright and generous fruit characters make it extremely consumable as a youngster but for those with patience and room in their cellar it will reward long term ageing.
It will need at least 10 years to develop the bottle-derived secondary notes of mushrooms and earth and these will gradually dominate the wine over the next decade or so. We expect full maturity at 25 years of age.
Tasting Notes
Colour: Medium ruby hue; bright condition.
Aroma: Lots of pretty fragrances – black fruit notes like sour cherries, plus strawberry jam, musk, camphor and roses. Complexity comes from mushroom and earthy notes, almost charcuterie and there is a nice toasty oak background.
Palate: This is medium to full bodied, with bright and generous strawberry and cherry fruit flavours, with rose water and mushroom notes on the finish. The acidity gives good lift and the tannins are a subtle but firm presence, adding concentration and length. On the finish there is a touch of toasty oak.
Grape Varieties: 100% Pinot Noir
Aging: 19 months in 228 litre French oak and 15% were new.
Awards: 91pts- James Suckling; 92pts – Angus Hughson, Wine Pilot; 95pts – Bob Campbell, The Real Review; 97pts – Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
