Ata Rangi Martinborough Pinot Noir 2021

Degustationsnotiz

Ein volles, duftendes Bouquet von Wacholder, Erdbeeren, roten Kirschen und Pflaumen vermischt sich mit Gewürznoten von Kardamon. Am Gaumen wird der Wein getragen von roten Früchten, einer frischen Säure und fein umhüllenden Tanninen, die die sich über die gesamte Länge des Gaumens erstrecken. Die Konzentration ist aussergewöhnlich, ein Markenzeichen eines ertragsarmen Jahres in Martinborough.

Kritiker über den Ata Rangi Pinot Noir 2021:

Sam Kim, Wine Orbit: 99/100. This is impeccably composed and seductively expressed, showing dark cherry, clove, thyme and cedar characters on the nose with a gorgeous floral overtone. The concentrated palate is plush yet poised and refined with fleshy texture and perfectly pitched tannins. The wine exhibits stunning depth with layers of delectable flavours and meticulously structured mouthfeel, leading to a totally captivating, sensual finish.

James Suckling (JamesSuckling.com): 97/100.  Lively and vibrant red fruits of wild strawberries and red cherries followed by rose hips, ground spices and a touch of citrus zest. Medium-bodied, finely grained velvety tannins with a delightful acid backbone. Zesty and layered wine with beautiful balance and complexity. It’s already enjoyable but will age gracefully.

VINOUS - Rebecca Gibb MW: 97/100. The 2021 Pinot Noir definitely reflects vintage. Its good colour and abundance of gravelly tannins display the smaller berried, smaller vintage. Its bright fruit, intense concentration and plentiful acidity accompany primary red fruit flavour, with an impressive show of ample black tea leaf-like tannins. It’s a wine for the long haul that draws out to an extended finish.

Stephen Wong MW (The Real Review): 96/100. Deep crimson. A firm, upright nose with blackberry, violet minerality in a restricted but concentrated package. Not immediately exuberant but there is clearly a lot of innate power here. The palate is full-bodied, very structured from the start with both fruit and oak tannins giving texture and dimension to this impressively serious, mineral and very long wine. Very young currently (March 2024), it needs a few years to relax into itself but will be fantastic in time as the floral and blackberry flavours unfurl.

Erin Larkin, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 95/100. The 2021 Pinot Noir is vibrant on the nose and totally precise and focused. The acid spools right from the front of the palate and has a mobile, agile way about it. The season may have had it’s challenges, but the wine is effortless, natural and shapely. It’s great. The 40% whole bunch here sits well within the red fruit and creates a capacious mid-palate without an impact of stalky flavour. Superb. A real pleasure to drink.
