Deanston 2002 Pinot Noir Finish. Image courtesy Deanston/Distell.This 2020 release is one of the first created by Distell master blended Julieann Fernandez, and has a fruity, malty nose with notes of green apples, vanilla, and dried flowers. The taste is creamy, rich, and complex with a good fruity character of apples and peaches along with a touch of dark fruits and barley sugar. The finish is long, complex, and well-balanced. Excellent! (August, 2020)
