due to cyclone problems, the grapes were 75% Marlborough 25% Hawke's Bay. Big, buttery, closer, ripe stone fruit some tropical fruit in the back. Palate is brigth, same profile, buttery, high acidity, ternse, flinty, med finish. It somehow feels uneven
bottle was opened the day before Dry, plank, citrus fruit way in the back, tense, structured, a touch warm, palate is rather aggressive, 13.50% but feels warmer, high acidity, med to full body, heavy handied in oak, med finish. Needs time
via coravin, Rousssanne/Marsanne and Chardonnay, 14% Tight, backwards, austere, fruit in the back, palate is fuller, more fruit, med acidity, tight, planky, warmth, med finish, difficult for now
Australia, Victoria, Central Victoria, Harcourt Valley
via coravin Sweet nectarine notes, floral notes, sweet stone fruit, sweet spice/oak notes, welcoming, some wax notes. Palate with oily texture, full body, tensity, structured, showing acidity, med to long finish. Needs time, there is also a musky nuance here
via coravin Red fruit, cherry notes, thin oak frame, red berry notes, sweet spice notes, biscuit notes, vanilla notes. Palate is very dry, red fruit in the back, a touch warm, tense, med body, med finish, high acidity, indian spice in the back adding savoury character
via coravin Quite warm, ripe red fruit, berry, ripe to overripe strawberry, thick oak frame, violet, whole spice. Palate shows the same style, big, ripe to overripe fruit, warmth, juicy fruit, herbal notes, give it time
via coravin Elegant, smooth red fruit, cherry, floral notes, ripeness, structured, smoked paprika. Palate is tight, dry red fruit, powdery tannins, some herbal bitterness, med body, med finish
via coravin Riper than Harcourt 2022, some coffee notes, thick oak frame, violet floral notes, clove, dark chocolate. Palate shows blue berry core, big palate, a touch warm, big juicy tannins, youthful, give it some time, finesse
via coravin Big powerful nose, dense, juicy black fruit, coffee notes, spice notes, tobacco. Palate follows the nose, again mainly coffee and spice notes, earthy notes, fruit lies in the back, powdery tannins, med body, long finish Very steep price
