Domaine Thomson 'Explorer' Single Vineyard Central Otago Pinot Noir 2018

Wonderfully ripe and beautifully lifted, the bouquet shows dark cherry, plum, game, toasted spice and floral aromas, leading to a concentrated palate that’s supple and lingering. It’s gorgeously fruited and expressed, backed by fine chalky tannins, finishing long and pleasingly dry. At its best: now to 2025.” 94 Points / 5 Stars – Wine Orbit

“Light, fresh, vibrant pinot noir with red berry, spice, pepper, anise and fresh herb flavours supported by backbone of fine tannins. A supple, honest wine with character. Good value at this price.” 90 Points / 4 Stars – Bob Campbell MW
