Still fruit up front but raspberry bomb has softened off, subtle on nose, at the peak of its drinking now ! colour Browned off bu only a little, smooth and balanced, pinnacle of otago Pinot !!

Quite different from the previous bottle. Raspberry, red and black cherry fruit, spice and dried herbs on the nose. Lovely raspberry, black cherry and plummy fruit sweetness with dried thyme and plenty of super fine tannin and a nice line of acidity. Length and balance. What a shame that's it for my supply, I think it would continue improving for a good while yet...

Deep ruby, red berries and spice, a little pleasantly green asparagus too on the nose. Soft red plum and cherry, lovely juicy mouthfeel with a little dried herbs and spice. Drops off a little, with no great persistence or length, but a mighty pleasant drop.

pale ruby; on the nose less fruity than other NZ PN; red fruits, froest floors and earthy undertones, a little bit lossen palate; minder acidity will be better (slight overripe?); fairly long aftertaste

Soft well structured wine, Forrest floor nose. Fruit driven, cherry, pepper, still tannic. Years to go, doesn't drink like a 2007.
