Deep colour. Sweet red berries and soft gamey notes. Black and red berries, forest floor complexity, Otago sweetness and fruit intensity, big boned structure, acidity and tannins are present but not disjointed. Feels like it has quite a few years ahead. Just the right amount of earth for me at this point.

Dep cherry red, light rim. Black and red fruits, cherry pip zest, very lightly earthy. Black cherry, and cherry stone sour zest, slightly coarse tannins, plenty of acidity. Some nice aged complexity of figs, undergrowth, damson sweetness. Dark edged, fruitsweet, very Otago, tasty stuff.

Initially very tart, but came around after an hour or so to dense plush cherry - well balanced with some stems still showing good - but wish i had decanted for an hour

Sweet fruit. Clearly New World pinot. Dusty and earthy. Savory. Smooth texture. Fairly opulent and generous.

The most balanced of the six NZ Pinots on the night for me, albeit just a touch on the sweet side.
