Community Tasting Note

  September 18, 2016 - Excellent. The little bit of bottle age means complexities are starting to appear. Good acidity, making it more food-friendly than the 14, at this stage. Tasted alongside 2014 and 2008 (the best.) 13.8%, screwcap.

  9/18/16, 1:45 PM - More sober tasting after 24 hours. Dark purple, almost opaque but not quite. Black cherry aromas, maybe just a breath of alcohol. On the palate: refined, dark fruit, lots of acidity, not much tannin, very long. A very classy Pinot; it's just beginning to mature, though, and will be better (with the support of that acidity) in five years. What am I saying? Ata Rangi Pinot peaks after ten years? I think so...
