It was quite some time I didnt venture to New Zealands PN’s, therefore once served it blind, I was far away to guessing it right. Medium ruby colour, red hue. Medium intensity aroma of cherries, cranberries, anise, sweet tobacco, raspberry hints, herbal touches. Medium body, juicy attack with medium-light viscosity, medium acidity, mild tannic structure, mid palate turning a bit overly bitter and concluding with spiced fragrant floral finish.

A long proper cork enclosure. Medium ruby/garnet colour. Earthy, vanilla, strawberry, cedar, bubblegum, sweet spice. Med+ body. Low pH, Med (fine) tannin. Didn’t stand up to a fatty lamb dish. Very nice though.

Retailer Tasting. The wine was medium to light ruby in colour and offered cherry, red and dark berries, spice, earthy notes and some funk on the nose. On the palate, the wine showed cherry, mixed berries, earthy notes and spice, with medium-level acidity and very good length. Oak and tannin were still present on the palate. A good Pinot Noir; Burgundian in many ways, but more hedonistic and plush. I liked it. That said, I liked the elegant “Block B” even better. A nice duo. 90+ for now.

Tasted at the Whitewater Valley Wine Society, Hampshire, UK. This single vineyard wine had a deep ruby red colour with aromas of ripe raspberry and dark cherry with earthy spice warmth. The palate was bursting with more cherry, plum and spice backed by smoke and forest floor notes leading to a long and savoury finish
