Wine Code Breaker #443

2023 Aunt Alice Night Sky Pinot Noir, Tasmania

I never knew I had always longed for an Aunt Alice. It appeared very recently, in the night sky, much like Mary Poppins. In fact, it is quite a lot like Mary Poppins. Creative and playful, enchanting and magical. As for me? I would be closer to “a little bit more,” or, on a good day, “as high as an elephant’s eye.”

The 2023 Aunt Alice Night Sky is a Pinot Noir from Tasmania. It is an enchantingly dark crimson colour wine that elegantly floats in the glass. The nose is playful, offering red fruits, cherries, and rhubarb spice, with touches of savoury notes, orange rind and cream bring a smile. On the palate, it effortlessly balances the whimsical and magical; red fruits, those cherries, spices, forest floor notes, and its silky texture deliver a long, fanning finish – practically perfect in every way!

Enjoy!
