Poppies
Martinborough Estate Pinot Gris 2023 750ml
Sam Kim: Wine Orbit
96/100
This is seriously good; the elegantly fragrant bouquet shows poached pear, lemon peel, crunchy apple and white floral nuances, followed by a delightfully flavoursome palate offering excellent fruit purity together with creamy texture and vibrant acidity, finishing persistent and structured. At its best: now to 2033.
Spicy, sexy, and seductive - a very saucy introduction into a wine conversation. This is a truly sumptuous aromatic wine showing richness and opulence with hints of minerality.
When dry, pinot gris has bitterness and a certain blandness, however by retaining residual sugar, this gives way to spiciness and lushness - a preferred outcome. We liken this wine to an old fashioned rose with small soft petals and a redolent perfume - evoking memories and nostalgia of the old world and fashion.
Never forgotten, but rather the benchmark. A true classic which tempers purity and refinement with lush fullness.
