50/70 Celebration for Marc and Bud (Ponsonby, Auckland, New Zealand): Absolutely outstanding Tassie pinot noir - the best example I have had. Ripe, earthy and slightly funk nose with a rich, involving palate and wonderful authority in the seamless finish. While this is clearly a new world wine, the level of complexity and involvement mark it out as an excellent wine. This will age for another five years, minimum - it is currently in very early maturity and I believe it has the requisite parts to improve further with age.
