Nicely made wine, but realised that having waited for a number of years for this to improve, it's not getting any better. Alcohol poking through as a little hot - but still plenty of the signature PS black olive / olive brine, which will appeal to those who like their syrah extra thick. For this price, you should just head to Cornas or Cote Rotie...

So glad I have more of this, drinking better with each bottle. It still has that distinctive lemon-lime-saline quality which is signature to Kumeu wines. Looking forward to the next one. I wont rush.
