dry and well-balanced finish

As the description suggests this is much less rustic than usual though not as fine as most of the following 1ers

but I like the depth on the ever-so-mildly austere finale that flashes a touch of warmth

its baked apple fruit still youthfully toasty

Cloudy Bay, Te Wahi other_regions_italy dry and well-balanced finishRich, deep and sweet, the 2019 Pinot Noir Te Wahi is Cloudy Bay's Central Otago label. It's full, open, ripe and sitting sweetly within its drinking window with attractive plum and cherry fruit, festive spices and the beginnings of savory, tertiary characters. Despite its ease and approachability, there's not much going on here, and you're left wanting more, more depth, nuance, and length.
