Thursday, February 25, 2021 - My last bottle of the 6 I bought, and probably the best. Opened at 4pm, tasted at 8pm, half drunk with cote de boeuf, the rest savoured on its own. Concentrated, juicy with blackcurrrant, smoky and savoury, with long smooth polished tannins on the finish. Oak is well judged and far from overdone, contra other comments, IMO; this is not in cheap California caramel vanilla territory, and nor is it oaky juice like so many NZ pinots.

This was excellent value from Costco when originally bought, in the territory of £25 or less. Can't get it for less than £49 now.
