4/18/2024 - Ulaa Likes this wine: 93 pointsGolden yellow, Balanced topical fruits, the honey is softer than the 15, more of a white honey. There is more acid here than the Dry River 2015 Chardonnay giving it a slightly fresher edge, but I wouldn't hold on to it much longer. Drink it now. |

3/18/2024 - cannym Likes this wine: 94 pointsThis was another big winner on the night. Bright ruby. Lovely nose, complex and expansive. Beautiful balance, real finesse. Blackberry but also red fruits too. Great acidity. Very fine tannins. Long. |

3/11/2024 - NickNYC Likes this wine: 92 pointsp&p. bright nose on cherry and peony. there is something wild and elegant at the same time. some bramble notes but not in a bad way (i.e. lack of ripeness). it took 15 minutes for the wine to settle in the glass. the palate was gorgeous, seamless, fresh and long. in a very good spot right now. |

2/14/2024 - drwine2001 wrote: NRNew Zealand Trip; 2/10/2024-2/24/2024: Dark ruby. Bottle funk and bacony notes that blew off to show black fruit and cooler menthol. Medium weight with strikingly long clay base. Strict black fruit, excellent acidity, and firm tannins. Rather serious and backward right now, quite different from the “cheery cherry” of many of the Pinots we’ve had over the past few days. I probably would have guessed France if blinded. |

2/10/2024 - colinscellar Likes this wine: 92 pointsIt is a big Pinot, the colour is deep and the fruit is intense, but it's not due to excessive ripeness as the wine only weighs in at 13.5% abv and the fruit is tart and fresh. |

11/25/2023 - Sarahq33 Likes this wine: 90 pointsRich and complex. Golden colour in the glass, floral honey and Turkish Delight on the nose, stone fruits and honey and a touch of ginger and marmalade with a long finish. Drinking very well in 2023 and would happily wait longer (we couldn't though!). |

1999 Dry River Pinot Noir AmaranthMartinborough more |
10/20/2023 - SimonG wrote: 88 pointsDeep ruby, dense with a magenta tint. Ripe, ripe nose, almost a sense of over-ripeness, with a dense core of blackberry fruit manifesting as crème de mûre. Mouth-filling, almost unctuous texture, all enveloping. Mid weight, moderately long. Little change over a couple of hours, so will see how the remains hold up tomorrow, but ultimately, it’s part interesting, part impressive, but monochromatic and a bit of a one trick pony that one doesn’t want to ride too far. *** |

10/7/2023 - wongstonn Likes this wine: 92 pointsDrank at 12 years of age. Rich colour with some bits in the juice Vanilla, caramel, and a hint of petroleum on the nose. In the mouth the same but with a pear tarte tartin aspect. Good concentration and balance throughout the palate. |

7/22/2023 - jdporter3 Likes this wine: 90 pointsThis may be my last bottle of a half case. Now getting the petrol of great Rieslings. Aging quite well, still bright and crisp. I’m sold on this maker and terroir. Definitely cellarable. |
