TASTING NOTES FOR Jules Taylor Better Half Pinot Noir Marlborough New Zealand 2020

🍷 Appearance
Bright ruby red with a youthful vibrancy in the glass.

👃 Aromas
Fragrant and expressive, showing ripe raspberry, cherry and plum layered with subtle spice, thyme and gentle earthy mushroom notes.

👅 Palate
Juicy and fruit-driven with flavours of red cherry, raspberry and plum supported by hints of chocolate and spice. The palate is beautifully balanced with a touch of savoury complexity and fine structure.

🍈 Texture & Finish
Silky and supple with polished tannins and a smooth, rounded mouthfeel. The finish is long, fresh and gently savoury with lingering red fruit and spice.

🍇 Overall Style
A classic Marlborough Pinot Noir—vibrant, fruit-forward and highly drinkable, yet with enough savoury depth and finesse to keep it interesting.

🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with charcuterie, grilled meats, roast lamb or duck, porcini risotto, or roasted vegetables like beetroot and eggplant.

🥂 BBD Verdict
An absolute crowd-pleaser Pinot Noir—silky, juicy and dangerously easy to drink. Ideal for mixed dozens and a brilliant go-to red for any occasion.
