  m+ depth red, pink rim. ripe cherry and dry herbals, some liquorice, alcohol warm, bitterness, high note acidity. light tannins, subtle creamy and oaky flavour, not too long. can't see any potential to develop.
  
  they have a clos in Gevrey-Chambertin, which earned BC 97. they are practicing biodynamic in Central Otago, so even this 2nd tier Pinot Noir should match higher standard and more expectation.
  
  TA 6.0 g/L, pH 3.58, RS <1 g/L
  
  Ap 5/5, Ar 12/15, Palate 15/20, Overall 2+2/10
  Total 86/100
