Community Tasting Note

Thursday, February 3, 2011 - This wine has all the classic Central Otago Pinot spice and richness of fruit, but at this very early stage in it`s development it is an unfair to make any sweeping statements about the wine as it appeared to me as untamed and almost "raw?" in it`s flavor profile. The nose is very shy but hints of impressive things to come. There will eventually be a floral component to the nose which will make it very distinctive. The color is possibly one of the darkest I have ever seen and again enthuses me for the future of the wine.

The predominant impression left behind after tasting this wine is a sense of depth and weight that excites me. The DNA of this wine is no doubt as good as it comes and I see great things for it in 6 - 12 months and beyond for at least five years. Happily I have a fair bit of this and will look at it every six months as it will be an adventure to see this baby unroll.
