October 9, 2023 - My last bottle and less evolved than expected. Red raspberry and cherry fruit. Pepper and cloves. Depth of intensity and mineral.
October 13, 2020 - Bravo! A great Pinot. And the price is right vis.a vis other NZ Pinot. Earthy with lively red fruit and fresh acidity.
September 7, 2020 - Un brin boisé mais une belle texture soyeuse.
Nez sur le thé, les prunes et les herbes.
En bouche, petites cerises avec un peu de poivre
et de tabac.
Assez en finale, rien n`accroche.
Bien.
February 3, 2019 - Tar med denna på en vinprovning och överraskas själv av att den vinner flajten bl a mot några hyggligt namnkunniga europeiska viner. En perfekt mognad, men jag skulle gissa den bör drickas nu eller inom kort. Utmärkt.
December 10, 2018 - Probably left it a little long for my cellar conditions... Still a gorgeous complicated pinot
August 24, 2016 - in Harfsen op warme zomeravond met Titia, Marjan, Bar, Rutger, Bronwen en Gerbrand
April 29, 2016 - Très bien fait mais ce n'est pas un bourgogne... c'est clairement un pinot nouveau monde. Il y avait assez de fumée là-dedans pour se croire à un show de Bob Marley !
April 12, 2016 - True burgundry stile - but at a reasonable price
January 29, 2016 - A great burgundy style Pinot. Has five more years.
October 27, 2015 - Extremely good wine, Lovely seductive style, full of soft strawberry fruit, a very well judged touch of spice and wonderful soft silk texture. Seamless alcohol, which you certainly can't say for a lot of NZ Pinot. I'm sure this will continue to improve over 5 years, but I fear my bottles wont last that long. I like this a lot.
