Angelica Wine Club - New Zealand (Sawa Restaurant, Stanley Street): "Gamey, savoury, alcohol, plenty of spice, leather, meaty over muted black fruits especially cherry and blackberry. More of the same on the palate, juicy, chamois tannins, Hmm. I called Pinot Noir, Central Otago, 2010"

A Clear medium ruby, clean medium nose, with aromas of cherries and plums. A dry medium acid, medium body wine, with cherries, leather, and black pepper. A lovely example of Central Otago Pinot.

I had the pleasure to meet the owner (PM) in Hong Kong. So tracked this down in London.
Transparent Ruby Red. A surprisingly mature nose. Reminded me of old burgundy. It was lovely. Made the foolish mistake of decanting for 2 hours. The beautiful nose and flavours died away. Was a 92 on opening. Note to self, not a wine to decant!
