medium dark ruby. ripe red and black berries in nose. quite brooding style with ripe fruit sweet, firm tannins, nice structure and well balanced. showing good weight and concentration. medium(+) dry finish with a little herbal and earthy hints. not very young but still has potential. another wonderful Pinot Noir flawlessly defines Central Otago terroir!

Good Quaffer - heavy fruit but still with good spice and length - recommended for the price

Expressive nose of cherries and oak. Cherries and licorice notes on the palate but disappointed with the watery like finish.
