  Appears to be past it's best - the nose was missing the usual youthful fervour and the first mouthful confirmed that this wine was past its best...note to self; to consume within 2 years of he vintage.

  An enticing wine which will awaken your senses from the very first encounter. Leather, boysenberry and sweet spices combine. The supple palate with its transparent flavours of red fruit and earthy textures leads to a finish that is both balanced and intriguing.

  June 22, 2012 - Lovely! New Zealander burgundy. very typical red berries ascent and taste. Now after almost a bottle - my wife just usually leave up to me - I dare to say this was the best pinot noir outside burgundy ever tasted. maybe tomorrow I change my mind. . But only after nominating a new one. . . . not decanted but should had. please do. one hour in the glass made last glasses much better than early ones.
