2013 Greywacke Pinot Noir
Community Tasting Note

92 Points
Sunday, September 18, 2016 - Tasted immediately after opening. Medium purple core, pink rim. On the nose; wild strawberries, floral perfume, moist earth, Asian spices and salty caramel. On the palate; medium bodied, good depth and lovely balance. Certainly a top quality NZ Pinot that seems to improve every year, but given the latest price increase ($50 as opposed to $43 for the 2011 vintage here in Norway) the list of good alternatives has expanded quite a bit. Drink 2016-2021.

This was perhaps correct in 2010, but not any more. $50 would thus imply NOK 300 (which is still a bit more than you're paying in Sweden - as usual for wines in this price bracket...).
