  • 2005 Quartz Reef Pinot Noir 86 Points

    New Zealand, South Island, Otago, Central Otago

    A vegetal nose, pleasing, inviting, with underlying fruit and gaminess.
    A fruity attack, the tannins are a bit prominenet but soft, good balance, smooth and slightly oaky in the mouth.

  • 2003 Rippon Pinot Noir 90 Points

    New Zealand, South Island, Otago, Lake Wanaka

    The smell of the compost heap, not much fruit, interesting and complex.
    A gorgeous fruity attack, perfectly integrated, smooth and at its peak and should remain there some while.
