December 10, 2016 - Nice wine. Smooth, dry, losing its fruit. More smokiness now. Very pleasant and decent complexity. Earthiness, spices, cherries still dominate.

August 29, 2014 - Carrick Pinot Noir 2007, Central Otago NZ
First Carrick wine I have tasted. Decanted 1/2 hr.
Wine appears medium bodied, with garnet colour showing no sign of 7 years age.
Sweet aromas of cherries, plums, dark chocolate & coffee spice.
On the palate it is soft & plush, with a graceful offering of black cherries & coffee spice. There are no funky, mushroom, or meaty characters.
Purity & elegance is the focus here. A serious, complex, age-worthy style with layers of flavour and a foundation of firm, ripe, tannins.
Drink till 2018.
Enjoy with dishes such as whole roasted baby Chicken, Quail, or Pork.1 person found this helpful Comment -

December 5, 2012 - Deep red colour. Medium weight. Smooth tannins, cherries and raspberries on the opening. Bit of earthiness, cinnamon/spices. Nice acidity to help balance it all out. Decent length to the finish.
