87 Points

Tuesday, December 31, 2013 - New Year's Eve (In memory of Charlie Trotter) (Eketahuna, New Zealand): Stewed apple. Very old. Aldehyde. Cinnamon notes. High alcolic finish.
Possibly aged too long. Smells varietal. Possibly thinning out and as a result the
alcohol is peaking out. May be cracking up slightly. However, in the end, I
warmed to it immensely - it is old school heritage that is fading
gracefully and is both true to its terroir and varietal.
