  July 30, 2019 - This is a savoury laid-back imminently drinkable Pinot Noir. Nicely developed now. This has gained in terroir, particularly in the nose. A few sniffs will bring you to the South Island. I thought the palette of flavours and aromas had tad more energy and variety a year or two ago. There are more secondary notes appearing in 2019. This is still a super wine with lots of flavour and enjoyment. For me, this was at it's drinking best in 2016-2017-2018.
  
  From here-on-in I would guess that Two Paddocks 2010 might slowly lose complexity of flavour while gaining more terroir and depth.
  
  Useful Tip for Two Paddocks drinkers: Wait at least 5 years from the bottle date before drinking.

  November 1, 2017 - Pop and poured. This wine cellars well and has developed nicely over the last year or two: the mouthfeel is more ethereal; the nose more aromatic; the balance more balanced; and, best of all, the terroir is starting to show. Very high drink-ability here. Most wines I usually drink a half-bottle or so, but I always seem to drink a full bottle of this tasty stuff.

  December 30, 2015 - Tasty easy-drinking well-balanced wine with an unpretentious character. The aromas and flavours are savoury, meaty & fruity. The wine seems simple but there is enough going on to maintain interest over a whole bottle (and it is quite easy to drink a bottle!!). The palate has improved since last year. This is in a good spot right now. 89-90 points.

  August 1, 2015 - Clear ruby color. Faint barnyard on the nose, cherry blossom, sour cherry and hint of Christmas spice. Palate was crisp and clean with red cherry, tart berry, lingonberry and some herbs. Nice balance and easy drinking. Medium finish. A nice wine but I got ripped off at USQ wine in NY, $60 bucks.

  May 29, 2014 - Tasted alongside other Two Paddocks and Felton Road wines at a dinner with Sam Neill and Nigel Greening and this showed very well. Great aromatics and wonderful flavours- excellent.
