  January 21, 2014 - On the nose and palate the earthy tones are dominating, (mushroom and forest floor). Generous mouthful and length, still plenty of ripe tannin. I would keep this, but fruit lovers may be disappointed soon.

  December 28, 2013 - Classic NZ Wine Trail - Martinborough (Martinborough): medium ruby. more concentrated than '99 rows'. intense red berries, warm, good structure, a little unsmooth in throat, maybe due to its young age. seductive savoury finish with oak spice and a little herbal hints. a nice Martinborough P.N. showing both fruit side and complex layers.

  October 23, 2012 - I tried their second label, 99 Rows and really love it, a good bargain for the price. But the top cuvee is not a great bargain IMO. The black fruit of Martinborough is there but not the silkiness and depth and wonderful mouth feel of most of the area's better wines. Good coffee flavor, decent herbs and complexity and good acidity, but otherwise there isn't enough there to compete with the best wine from the region. To be fair it's not as highly priced either.
  B/B-
