Still floral, lovely cherry and strawberry fruits. Elegant and pure . Highly enjoyable now though would not really develop much more than how it is now.

Still considerably elegantly styled incomparison to the other NZ pinots served but this has unmistakable aussie riper red fruits from ripe strawberries closing in on red berries . A little spiced earth and decent finsh.
Probably the most expressive and prettiest floral summer fruity nose among the pinots. Very good nose . Nicely made wine showing lightly summery cherries and strawberries. Delectable with finish.
Very NZ in style but modern NZ with lots of extract but lacking structure to maintain. Attractive ripe cool cherry, dark raspberries with tint of plummishness. Almost monolithic in style with bordeaux like tannins framed with mocha oak. Not a style suited for pinot that I like.
Still pretty dark cherry fruited and extracted but still relatively well supported by structure and silky tannins. Hints of woodspice, some dirt but dominantly still crushed dark red cherries. The most structured amonng the pinots but then structure is something that I dont usually try to seek out much in a pinot as compared to elegance or attractive fruits. This though would develop with time. A little tight now.
