Tasting Notes - Gravitas Pinot Noir 2004

Our first look at 2004 pinot from NZ. Crystal clear in the glass, in a ruby coloured kinda way. Nose is quite varietal but tends to the sweeter end, a bit simple, with spice and rhubarb. Palate gives away the wines age; quite light, shy on the fruit and seems tight. More spice on the back palate and some drive from the acid. Not enough fruit action right now but may be just way too young and raw. Re-taste in 12 months?
