Dalrymple Estate Mt Lord Pinot Noir

The nose opens with notes of ripe cranberry, blue florals and olive tapenade, backed by a light savoury character akin to liquorice root and damp earth with a faint edge of clove.  The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and bright, linear acidity that gives energy without compromising depth. Red cherries and tamarillo are layered with five-spice and flinty, mineral notes. There is a sense of restraint, a hint to those who know the reward of time.
