  A bit of tingle on tongue, decent book club sipper, opened up to display darker fruit profile. Probably needed lamb skewers.

  Not as good as prior bottles or vintages. Tasted closed. Light body, rhubarb /cranberry notes with astringent finish. Fruit profile has faded leaving dominant acidity. Will hold of drinking additional bottles for 2-3 years.

  A: Pale ruby
  N: Medium (+) nose of Violet. Liquorice, red cherry, cherry tomato, cranberry, clove, nutmeg, dried herbs, earth and I thought that I got VA at the end
  P: Dry, medium (+) acid, medium (+) tannin, medium (+) intensity and finish medium (+) alcohol and body

  Italian - sangiovese - Chianti
  Misses:
  Maybe this acidity was higher than I thought. It seemed very ripe for a chianti so that was a clue
  New Zealand PINOT NOIR is very chalky, higher herbal load than other new world pinots andmore moderate alcohol. Perhaps the VA was mistaken but I really think it was there.
