  December 3, 2022 - This is truly excellent wine. Semi-carbonic floral note on top of crushed and fresh strawberries, rhubarb and light raspberry. High acidity to support the intensity and it has an easy 5 more years left in the bottle if you can find one.

  April 17, 2022 - Star of the night was this epic pinot noir from Marlborough. Absolutely massive layered nose with everything from violets, cherries, raspberries, strawberries, various stewed versions of those fruits, forest floor and slight barnyard to kick it off, and then the masterpiece - the palate. This could be the best pinot I've had in terms of balance. Everything was as impressive as the nose, with great definition of the fruit, but even better was the way the acidity played with nearly resolved tannins and a medium + weight that felt almost like a fruit juice in how moreish it was. Kevin Judd is a true master of this grape, at least in the 09 vintage.

  December 6, 2015 - Medium garnet. Evolved nose with raspberry, red cherry, herbs, mint, undergrowth and spices like cumin. Medium-bodied, silky-textured and balanced. Long aftertaste. At peak.

  October 14, 2014 - Pinot Noir tasting (Le Petit Sommelier): 45% matured in new oak for 14 months.
  
  The nose is clean, medium+ intensity, dense red cherry, ripe fruit, tobacco leaves, a very pleasant thin layer of oak, rich character, youthful to developing.
  The wine is dry (or dryish?), medium body and intensity, medium alcohol (14%), medium/medium+ acidity, balanced overall, big fruity notes of cherry and berry, pomegranate notes, alcohol creeps back, with a med/med+ finish.
  Very good quality, premium price, drinking now but can hold
