Millton 2017 La Cote Pinot Noir (Gisborne)

It is imperative that you give this wine, from NZ's biodynamic guru James Millton, a little time in the glass or a decanter. It will reward you tenfold with brambly fruit, a medley of spices, dried rose petals and violets, mushrooms and a lingering reductive earthiness that will excite many a Burgundy lover. Like a ballerina in pointe shoes, it is both delicate and powerful, showcasing pristine, crunchy red fruit amid taut, chalky tannins. Elegant and graceful with complexity and a funk factor that works brilliantly with Pinot Noir. Christina Pickard
