Beautiful Pinot, very round and smooth, lots of different red fruits and nicely integrated tannins. Some black pepper, love it. In great drinking time right now, but can be cellared for several more years.

Min sjätte och sista flaska, och jag känner att jag måste skaffa mera. Jag vet inte om en NW-pinot blir så mycket bättre, och jag tror det mesta från Otago är utkonkurrerat. Jag vill inte göra jämförelser med viner från Bourgogne, men färgen och den kristallklara transparensen i denna gör att den i alla händelser ser ut som en Chambolle, eller så. Utmärkt!

At most medium ruby. Red cherry, savory and structural. Fine grained, building tannin that becomes a touch drying. Complexity revealed at the end of the bottle. Better in time. (93 Excellent wine)

Weekly tasting group RWP #353; New World against France in every flight (@ RW): In the bouquet a lot of new oak, red berries, cherries and green herbs. On the palate red and dark berries, good and pleasant acidity and sticky tannin. Wait another 3+ years. Beautiful wine.
