Paddy Borthwick Right Hand Pinot Noir 2020

Description

Aromas of a complex wine with a stony mineral led quality followed by scents of dark cherry and baked plum then sweetness of barrel and a fine smoky wood quality. Dark rose and clove, plum and vanilla, there’s a fine silica and saline quality to the sense of place this wine carries as well. On the palate – taut and youthful, salivating and texture, complex and fine. A delicious wine with velvet textured tannin, plenty of acidity and a core flavours of red berries, plum then wood spices and sense of place with a earthy mineral quality. Lengthy finish with charm and complexity. Best drinking from 2023 through 2033. Outstanding. Score – 95. (Cameron Douglas, MS, camdouglasms.com, Aug. 18, 2022)
