Good, dark fruited, plum, perhaps veers a bit too much to dried/over ripe fruit for my liking, but solid and well made. Questionable value vs say the entry level Tenuta delle Terre Nere Etna Rossos

Cork had same seepage as my prior bottle from a few years ago. didn't breach the end of the cork though. Dark berry, plum fruit. A little earthy, but note quite as good as my prior bottle. Perhaps fading and should have drank sooner. Still quite nice, but did not live up to previous experience.

This was drinking fabulously. Pretty earthy nose with sour cherry, soil, leaves. Similar tart cherry palate with earthy undertones, great acidity and still some tannic grip on the finish. Nice balance and complexity. Probably still good for a number of years, but certainly good to drink now. Glad to have a second bottle.

3/17/2014 8:02:00 PM - Now this really is interesting! I have bought a half-dozen bottles of Pegasus Bay PN most vintages since 2006, and the 2008 and 2009 (which I currently have unpacked in the cellar) are definitely both 14,5% alc. I haven't yet tried Pegasus Bay's premium "Prima Donna" PN bottling, which is said by the German importers (Keller Weine, on their website) to have 13,5% alc. Could this possibly be the wine you tasted? Provenance: Although I live in Germany, I usually buy NZ reds in the British market (for some reason the German importers for e.g. Pegasus Bay charge more than $10 per bottle over the UK market value).

Is it conceivable that you are confusing this with a white Pegaus Bay wine? "Grapefruit/citrus character" doesn't really sound like Pinot Noir to me... (Re: Pegasus Bay Pinot Noir 2009)
