Description
Domaine Thomson ‘Surveyor Thomson’ Single Vineyard Central Otago Pinot Noir 2017. 94 Points (Cameron Douglas MS)
Complex, savoury and distinctive with a bouquet filled with scents of Otago and variety, soil and ripe fruit. Cherry, raspberry and plum, dried herb, wild thyme and spices of oak. A core of fruit on the palate is accentuated with acidity, the barrel spices and Otago thyme flavours accentuated by tannins. Youthful, complex and lengthy on the palate with flavours that reflect a time and place, variety and excellent vintage. Best drinking from 2022 through 2029.
Wine Orbit – 95 Points / 5 Stars
It’s delightfully fruited and elegantly complex on the nose showing dark
cherry, dried herb, cured meat and roasted nut aromas, followed by a
beautifully rounded palate offering sweet berry flavours together with
rich spicy/savoury nuances, finishing long and stylish.
