June 24, 2016 - H.I.Jones 73rd Birthday at Pokai Parera - Day 1 (Ekatahuna, New Zealand): Ripe and herbal nose with considerable black pepper notes. The wine is completely dominated by charred oak. It lacks generosity and finishes lean. The fruit quality is pretty but overwhelmed by the oak, ultimately reminding me of old fashioned reds from NZ.
