  Brief notes only, tasted at annual NZ Trade Tasting London Jan 2015
  
  Light-Medium body; lovely purfumed nose; long flavours once tasted; not at all like an Aussie Shiraz, defo in the 'new' NZ style of Syrah.
  
  RR price £36.00.......Hmmm, doubt if it's worth that much, more like £25.00

  Game of Rhones (Carriageworks, Redfern): blackberry and black pepper…juicy, lacks a little fruit on the palate. Okay at best

  stalky nose, complex with dark fruit
  Savoury oak here too
  Ripe tannins with notes of tobacco
  Long finish
  Seems to be missing something in the middle. It doesn't quite work
  I preferred the fruit of the Reserve syrah

  In the emerging Hawkes Bay New Zealand syrah style, a long way from big jammy Aussie Shiraz. Big on fruit but with a backbone, taut. Light-medium body only. The nose was a delight of dark fruits perfume. This is classy red wine, tons of brooding intensity, a hint of mint. Good long finish. Young yet, cellar further, maybe 2017-2020. It is good wine, well crafted, fine, but a tad expensive at £30.00+ sterling for a NZ syrah, so not fantastic value-for-money.
