Red
2011 Maison Alex Gambal Vosne-Romanée Vieilles Vignes
91 points
quite savoury with gamy tertiary aromas.
Red
2014 Chard Farm Pinot Noir Finla Mor
92 points
fresh, bright fruit with bold tannins, should age well
Red
2013 Chard Farm Pinot Noir The Tiger
93 points
quite dense closed wine which needs a good few years in bottle
Red
2013 Craggy Range Pinot Noir Single Vineyard Te Muna Road Vineyard
89 points
juicy fruit and toasty oak
Red
2012 Craggy Range Pinot Noir Single Vineyard Calvert Vineyard
91 points
sweet fruit and oak, still needs time for tannins to soften, open perhaps 2017
Red
2010 Domaine de Bellene Nuits St. Georges Vieilles Vignes
85 points
strong cassis and definitely would have picked this wine as aged cabernet, short finish
Red
2013 Gibbston Valley Pinot Noir School House
93 points
intense, tannic fruit bomb with a good future
Red
2013 Marisco Pinot Noir Craft Series The Journey
88 points
complex wine with dark fruit and smoky notes, young, but not yet worthy of its $90+ price tag, will improve with bottle age however
Red

91 points
sweet fruit and vibrant acidity, long finish. more accessible than the 2010
Red
2014 Framingham Pinot Noir
87 points
light, bright, refreshing fruity wine
