  Dinner at the Bannockburn Hotel (near Cromwell, Central Otago): I was surprised at the very high quality of this wine. It threw a lot of sediment and seemed quite oaky on decanting but the oak notes had reduced by dinner time. An expressive nose of spices, florals, earth, vanillin oak and Bonnes Mares funk. In the mouth, a nice fruit profile ("A ripe, forward, fruity year" said Blair). Savoury and earthy with largely red fruit. Fresh and clean, showing its vintage. Good focus. Orange peel on the very long, surprisingly persistent finish. Most preferred this wine over the de Vogue.

  Full bodied, open-throated, voluptuous Bonnes Mares. Plenty of structure to keep it balanced. Was glad I drank it in this window.

  Super Bowl 2014 (Roswell, GA): See through dark rose with pale rim; pure rose and cherry on the nose, noble, good fat to the depth of the nose; plum and dark sour cherry, structured; tasty with lots of life left; disappointed I opened this as it is still very young and I did not give it the proper air to really unfold and show its true beauty which made it a little singular tonight; 93+.
