Excellent after a 5 hour decant. Should get even better over the next few years.

Peaches on the nose. Great mouth feel. Felt like a blend between a chard and SB.

Decanted for 2 hours. You can tell this is a well made wine but it is hard to get past the excessive heat. Needs a longer decant or a few more years in the cellar.

Initial barnyard on the nose. Good red fruit. Lighter pinot, both in flavor profile and color. Overall pretty good at $20.

Harsh tanins and alcohol. Good bit of oak and lots of fruit. A little better on the second day. Even at only $8 still a pass

Was a big fan of the 2004, not as good. Decanted for 1-2 hours before drinking. Really started to show after 3 hours. Probably could have used another year or two in the cellar.

Very good. Grass and green peppers. Probably could find comparable NZ SBs for a couple bucks cheaper.

Slight effervescence which made it a little awkward. Much better after being opened for about 2 hours. Look forward to trying antoher bottle to see if any different.

Herbs on the nose. A lot of green pepper on the taste. However that is about it. Pretty boring.

For the price was a little out of balance. To much acid on the back end.
