August 26, 2012 - The colour looked crimson red with some unusual pale bronze reflexes. Astoundingly murky and dim colour! The nose showed plenty of long-range perfume, nice and very intense fragrances of ripe strawberries, a bit of cassis, traces of matchsticks, spicy black pepper and a little bit of cherries. Decent impression, but a little bit one-dimensional (strong strawberry) and not enduring. The taste had loads of very ripe and tasty strawberries, hints of dark choco and a smack of jamy’ness (still okay, close shave). In the end a bit green and bitter-stem’y. A really fruitful and slightly hot Pinot with minor alcohol problems. No real earthy-forest-floor-attributes. The length seems nice, but not special. Balance overall alright and medium concentration. Fortunately a strong fruitful character plus decent acid - without being a fruit bomb! For me a typical NZ Pinot with a few alcohol issues. Unfortunately not a lot of elegance or considerable complexity. Still a decent weekday indulgence!
