Thursday, March 16, 2017 - Dinner at the Bannockburn Hotel (near Cromwell, Central Otago): This is a superb Burgundy. Everyone agreed it was the WOTN. Relatively pale colour. It was beautiful on opening but filled out and improved by the time it was served. A wonderful bouquet of spices, musk, blossoms and red and black cherries. On palate, a perfect balance of elegance and refinement and latent power. Drinking beautifully now but with years ahead of it. One of my wines of the year so far.
