Lovely clear garnet, slight fading to edge. Nose very reticent. But in the mouth - just totally lovely. Why I love NZ pinot. It really is "itself". Lots of black cherry, cranberry, touch of rhubarb. Touch of earthiness. Very fine tannins, great acidity, long clean finish. How I wish I'd bought a case and not a single bottle.

Pure with nice herbal tones of thyme and sage. Also a peculiar, but not at all unpleasant sweetness. A bit tight and slightly 'greenish', the palate is subtle but elegant with good acidity.

Väldigr kryddig doft, fina röda bär, lite kaffe och lite mörka plommon. Fin inital attack men vinet saknar i mellansegmentet vilket gör att det är lite obalanserat.Något besk eftersmak Bra men inte stort.

Wine-Ark Cellar Club Tasting 1 - February 2011. Weingut Jager, Akarua and Albino Rocca (Roof Terrace Australian Museum): Ripe cherry, green toughness, earthiness and leathery tones on the nose. In the mouth acrid and bitter, dry cherry peeking through, course tannin and not really that good.
