June 28, 2023 - Strawberries, dried red cherries, dried green herbs and some nice dried earthy notes. Medium bodied with a precise and medium intense acidity. Tannins are nicely integrated. Very good fruit structure and depth. Quite feminine and elegant style. Great overall balance and a nice long and elegant finish.
This is in a great spot now but it definitely has a lot of good years ahead. Drink from now until 2030. (IG) -

March 11, 2023 - JB and SH for dinner: Screw cap. 13% alc.
Fruit forward on the nose - cherry, strawberry, plum. Medium intensity on the broad and juicy palate. Integrated tannins and decent length here. Well made. -

November 25, 2022 - 醒酒两小时，淡宝石红色，闻香有玫瑰花，熏肉，一些烟熏质感，樱桃，酸莓和一点奶味。香气是今天所有酒款里最开放的之一。其实我本人不太喜欢烟熏味，今天的很多款黑皮诺都有烟熏味，在2016年的Bell hill 里我也闻到了强烈的烟熏味，显得特别世俗，而今天这支2013的区别就在于，它的花香实在太强了，远远的盖过了烟熏，那高级感就出来了。入口酸度高，酒液咸，单宁打磨得很细，丝绒一样，非常漂亮的单宁质感，酒的结构不大，酒体偏轻，触感很柔和，红果伴随着花香，没有很多的深度和变化，走的是飘逸的风格，新鲜纯净的花果味一直延续到收尾，甜美悠长，嘴里也带着微微回甜，相得益彰。这确实是一款与众不同的新西兰黑皮诺，也是今晚整体表现最完整的酒，风格上绝对不是一款大酒，但却有着新西兰黑皮诺中少有的灵动，那柔软的触感让我想起了天堂 Il Paradiso di Manfredi 和 Bass Phillip。摆脱了沉重的尘土味似乎真的要脱离地球表面飞起来了，它就是今晚加强版的kupe，精致有余还多了一些鬼马精灵。醒酒四个小时后它重新坠入尘世，花香有些散去，口感开始往下，植物和肉鲜味明显，后段甚至感到一点回苦，这时候让我想到了夜……圣乔治？它最好的时刻已经留在了两个小时前和席间小伙伴偷尝的那几口。

November 24, 2022 - One of the 6 wines after a nice golf game, pairing with Japanese food. We all guessed wrong as a Burgundy 1er Cru. A wine with a good effort.
