Thursday, October 8, 2020 - Visitors from Wellington brave the Queensberry hills (Wanaka Wedge House, Queensberry, Central Otago, New Zealand): A great wine of extraordinary depth, richness and complexity. Without question a wine that is at a qualitative level equal to the finest Grand Cru Burgundy. Totally clean, fully subsumed oak, an opulence of fruit expression that finishes in a beautifully modulated and complex finish. Rich, but balanced, floral, and balanced. Ageing effortlessly. Grand wine.
