  Typical NZ eucalyptus/menthe and earth notes on the nose, palate oriented towards meat, lingonberries, red cherries, a bit sour, still quite harsh tannins. Seems to have developed from latest note, but still young in character.

  A bit too polished to be great, with viols, soft vanilla on the nose, dark cherries, strawberry, some oak on the palate.

  Discrete but round in the nose with notes of cherries and strawberries. On the palate the wine is harmonic and balanced with a good/medium body, red fruit, integrated acid and a touch of oak. I was a little bit surprised that the wine was so balanced at this fairly young stage, and fruit and spices were less dominant compared to other New world PN . It will probably hold for several years yet, but whether it will improve or not is difficult to say.

  Good with pizza at this fairly young stage. Probably better in 3 yrs time - although not good enough at this stage in order to get more bottlestop and wait with patience..

  Closed nose. Slightly tart red fruit. A bit spicy. As usual, not patch on the Estate pinot.
