Really nice cellar found, bought in London 10 years ago. Bouquet of cherries, chalk dust, underwood, truffles and umami, overall a rather cool flavour profile. On the palate still quite young and demanding tannins. If tasted blind, I would have definitely placed it in Burgundy (in a positive way), more Cote d'Beaune. Should easily stay at this level for another decade

Kept in temperature controlled storage. Drank for special occasion. The bottle had a muted noise, pleasant enough to drink, but no incredible characteristics. Did I keep this too long?

Excellent. Tart cherry and strawberry, bacon fat, mushroomy undertones, and hints of coriander seed and mint. Both elegant and expressive. I like the subtleness of the oak.

Aroma of animal fur. Like a very decent burgundy on the dense and dark side. NZ pinot seems very promising in deed.

Burgundy like.... Scents like a pommard or chassagne. Impressive red berries nose and freshness. Open now or keep until 2018.
