Community Tasting Note

HowardNZ Likes this wine:

Monday, October 26, 2015 - Burg v Kiwi Pinot Noir: The most Burgundian of NZ pinot noirs, from 30+ year old vines. Serving it blind, I wondered if my friends would pick it as Burgundy and all but one did. One taster said that the fruit weight here was easily better 1er and perhaps Grand Cru level. A polished nose of dark cherries, black raspberries, dark earth and sous bois. Juicy, rich with good volume on the palate. Oak well integrated. Detailed flavours matching the bouquet. Well balanced. A good vintage of one of NZ's top pinots. Drink in the next eight years or so.
