Possibly the best value NZ PN I’ve tried. Great range and complexity of flavours (cherry, raspberry, rhubarb, pepper, mushroom and smoke) enveloped in a long, rich finish. It’s fuller than many but the fruit isn’t overbearing. A touch of fresh acidity leads into some fine tannins and a long finish. Utterly delicious.

Tasted at The Wine Society's London tasting of New Zealand wines. The notes say blueberry and spice and I noted them both. The overall appearance is that this wine is still on the young side, but shows huge potential if you give it another year or two.

Deep ruby, silky tannins, sweet fruits, long finish. No sediment at all, leave for a couple of years to see how it develops.
