fresh red/dark cherry and berries, with some spices. very smooth texture, juicy and a little sweet, m/m- body, silky tannins. light but fine multi-layered structure, an elegant burgundy-like style.

Blackcurrant, plum, moderate cedar, medium body, smooth tannins, very pure and clean palate. Short dry finish but with subtle herbal notes. Good on balance and smoothness, same owner of Grand-Puy-Lacoste, a good quality Pauillac at entry level price (nzd 20).

A textbook-like Marlborough SB. passionfruit, citrus, a little tropical, bright acidity, balanced with a splash of mild sweetness. racy and fine structured. no mistake.
