Tasting Notes Felton Road MacMuir Pinot Noir 2023 presents a deeply fruited, integrated nose with a distinctive character unique to these early MacMuir bottlings. The bold palate reveals impressive depth and distinction, suggesting excellent aging potential. Heavy soils contribute to its alluring texture and substantial tannin structure, remarkably countering its younger vine origins. This vintage demonstrates a new level of maturity from the MacMuir vineyard, foreshadowing the exceptional quality to be expected in future releases from this Central Otago site. Reviews \”Savory and brooding aromas of dark cherries, blackberries, ferric earth, blood oranges and cedar on the nose. The palate has finely integrated tannins and a medium-bodied mouthfeel, giving notes of raspberry coulis, graphite and watermelon rind. Refined and pure with an underlying power. Drink or hold.\”95 Points – Jamessuckling.com, James Suckling, November 2024
