Community Tasting Notes 8

  March 10, 2024 - {screwcap, 13%} Fresh and vibrant pinot, full of strawberry and deli meat flavours, with soft low/medium dusty tannins, subtle oak, medium acidity and a medium length finish. Dry but still with decent fruit richness, this is impressive stuff for a decent price. ANy time over the next five years is good with this one.

  January 27, 2022 - I think this is starting to hit its stride now! It’s definitely put on some weight which provides a nice balance to the acidity. Red fruits are there and it’s starting to develop a silky mouth feel. I think this can develop further and tastings of First Paddock and The Fusilier from the same vintage bode well. I have some 2014s which are drinking beautifully so I really believe that the estate Pinot’s need some time.

  November 19, 2021 - One dimensional. Disappointing fir the hype. Tannic, dry, lacking rich fruit of other Central Otago pinots

  January 5, 2021 - Three from a case of six now and all have been disappointing. I've never been a big fan of NZ Pinot Noir, preferring French or Californian, and this is no exception. Thin and slightly acidic. Improved slightly after 24 hours in decanter. It is not unpleasant - it is just nothing to write home about and not worth the price.
