96 / 100"A stunning rendition showing perfumed aromas of dark cherry, floral, olive and hazelnut with nuances of warm spice and mushroom. The impressively concentrated palate displays outstanding weight and depth while remaining elegant and refined with a seamless flow and textured mouthfeel. Immensely complex and gratifying. At its best: now to 2031."

"Complex, youthful, tense and varietal. Aromas of dark berries and toasty barrel, clove and black currant, some fine savoury moments and hard clay earthy qualities. On the palate - firm, dry, complex, youthful then fruity with varietal flavours of dark berries then attributes suggested by the bouquet. Firm tannins with support from acidity require some cellar time to relax and integrate. Well made and needing cellar time with best drinking from 2023 through 2030."

Tasting Notes
This irresistible 2019 Gladstone Vineyard Blair Patrick Pinot is dancing in dark brooding plum and cherry aromas with toasty oak.
This Wairarapa Pinot Noir shows smoky stalk tannins and has a palate that is opulent with great weight and texture. The dark fruits are lifted into the mouth with added fruity characteristics that are balanced by the chalky tannins and nice acidity. Enjoy the Blair Patrick Pinot Noir with sirloin steak with plum sauce.
