Tasting Note

A compact, savoury pinot with layers of wild berries, dried porcini, pink peppercorns, ash, spiced cherries, rosemary, suede and cloves. Firm yet velvety tannins here. Muscular pinot with a firm, long and focused finish. Drink or hold." - JamesSuckling.com, 98 Points

Product Notes

Prophet's Rock Retrospect Pinot Noir is a regal, mature wine from New Zealand's Central Otago region. It exudes sophisticated notes of black cherry, thyme and earthy undertones. A rich, savoury texture infuses the medium-bodied crimson fluid that unfolds into an undeniably impressive finish. The Retrospect carries a dark romanticism, harmoniously fusing wild strawberry and subtle tannins. Aged in French oak for 24 months, its elements are immaculately integrated, creating a secondary complexity much enjoyed by discerning wine lovers. This elegant, vintage Pinot Noir captures the essence of the terroir it thrives in – a true masterpiece in a bottle.
