  Drinking very well. Pop n pour following a Guigal CdR and with food. Nice dark fruit, strength in the middle and a lingering aftertaste. Two French friends were very impressed and we had a long burgundy based conversation. There is enough tannnic feel that it could go another few years we agreed, especially as that dark fruit never wavered. Delicious with food

  I’m tasting this one at home one year and one day since first trying it at the winery in Central Otago, New Zealand.
  
  I gave it one hour of air before tasting and evaluating.
  
  Medium ruby color; touch of raspberry on the nose.
  Deeply concentrated black fruit, fig and thyme with crushed granite notes underneath the fruit, all balanced by bright acidity. A very long finish, with a moderate level of tannic structure. This may be a product of my imagination, but I’m beginning to develop a sense of a Central Otago terroir. I won’t be able to tell for sure, until I have had a chance to drink several more Central Otago bottlings, which admittedly, is an enviable task that I am happy to undertake. I’ll keep you posted.

  Darkish red fruit, spice bomb, violets and vanilla oak on the nose. Palate was ripe and rich with good tension and weight. Drinking very well.

  3 consistent bottles served at a BBQ. Sweet fruit of sour cherry, cool mineral notes and smoke. Ideal tension, perfect acidity. Precise and highly enjoyable, but aromatically more narrow than 2020 or 2018, more resemblance with 2015.
