The red wine Akitu A1 Pinot Noir, vintage 2019 from the winery Akitu has been rated in 2021 by Anne Krebiehl MW with 95 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape variety Pinot Noir from the region Central Otago in New Zealand.
A lovely mossy lift gives an ethereal edge to pristine, ripe but tart red cherry fruit. The palate comes in with a firm but graceful structure and a spine of both ripe, slightly grippy and superfine tannin and vivid, mouth-watering freshness. The texture has the kind of resonance and depth that draws you in and promises reserves that have yet to show themselves. Give this bottle age. It is a lesson in precision, clarity and depth. The length proves this point and throws in a lifted note of conifer.
