Description
2019 Domaine Thomson 'Surveyor Thomson' Central Otago Pinot Noir "Supple pinot noir with a mix of savoury, dried herb and spicy oak flavours, with subtle floral and cherry characters supported by fine, peppery tannins. An elegant rather than blockbuster style with cellaring potential.” 93 Points - Bob Campbell MW 95 Points / 5 Stars - Wine Orbit 5 Stars – Michael Cooper 5 Stars – Winestate Magazine
