  Last bottle from a half case; has improved further over the past few years and become more Burgundian. Good raspberry and liquorice nose. Complex and integrated flavours, sweet, clean, well balanced fruit. Tannins are deceivingly soft - there's more there than immediately obvious. Very moreish. Has been drinking perfectly for several years and there's little or no sign of decline. Good QPR.

  Lots of sweet red fruit notes, with reasonable complexity. But the barnyard note is quite persistent.
  
  Better with food. This is at peak now, but can last for a few more years in the cellar.

  Massively improved since last tasting in 2020, much more precise and balanced but still bursting with fruit within that defined structure, and with a pleasant long lasting afterglow.

  Drinking beautifully in 2022. Quite a perfumed nose with aniseed and berry fruit notes, and just a hint of ‘barnyard’. Impressive balance and length on the palate, with a great integration of ripe raspberry and blackcurrant fruit flavours around a tannic backbone that is reasonably soft, but provides ample structure. This is the last example in my cellar, which is a shame, as there should be a good 3-5 years of development left in this wine. Best Marlborough Pinot I have sampled in some time!

  Second bottle from a half case; has improved a lot over the past year and become more Burgundian. Good raspberry and liquorice nose. Lightish colour, complex and integrated flavours, sweet, clean, well balanced fruit. Tannins are deceivingly soft - there's more there than immediately obvious. Very moreish. Drinking perfectly now.
