Had as part of France/Australia/NZ Pinot Noir tasting dinner. It had the most on the nose of the first flight, and was clearly the French wine. Still has lots of life (especially for a 20 yr old Pinot). Very savoury, leathery, gamey. Revealed rich bacon-fat on the nose after time in glass. Awesome nose after 1hr in glass.

A bit muted on the nose. Silky. More vibrant and acidic than the Mount Mary. Slightly sharp and light. Quite fresh, but hasn't developed any aged complexity. In contrast to the Ata Rangi, feels like it would be more enjoyable in its youth.

Earthy, complex nose. Sumptuous, yummy, earthy palate. Very complex. Great length. Beautiful Pinot! Much closer to Burgundy than Central Otago. Disappeared from the glass quickly because I couldn't stop drinking it.

Dusty nose. Mushroomy. Quite acidic. Very interesting wine. Earthy. Developed "bacon-fat" nose after time in glass. Gained complexity with time in glass. Very, very good! Best value wine in tasting. (94 Excellent wine)

Smelt ok (actually had some similarity to the Drouhin). Very short, light and acidic. Sharp and tangy - either a poorly made or flawed wine. 90% sure it was slightly oxidised (capsule was perfectly clean but cork had red seapage all the way through the cork) - For the sake of Leroy I hope the wine was flawed, otherwise it was terrible value.

Almost candied fruity nose, a bit of cinnamon showing through later. Young fruity luscious palate. Good weight and tannins. Needs time in bottle. Juicy -> got better (and more complex) with time in glass. Overall: quite rich - want to taste after a few years in bottle before judging. (92 Very good wine)

Good complex, but slightly subdued nose (very slight bacon-fat after time in glass). Delicious, mushroomy, meaty. More complex, elegant and subtle than Villa Maria, but also less powerful. (92 Very good wine)

Subtle oak. Middle of the road Pinot. Solid, good value. Actually quite a distinctly Marlborough on the nose (could easily pick it from others in blind smelling).
