Opened 30 minutes before drinking, not decanted. Drinking beautifully after 8 years. Still plenty of summer berry fruit on the nose and palate. Rich earthiness, but not over powering. Lovely balance of fruit and maturity. Just perfect now.

I found this pretty good with a grilled Tuna salad nicoise after a 3 hour decant. Nice sweet/savoury balance, tad dry on the finish. A silkier texture in a few more years would improve it but good stuff from what I understand to be a tough year.

Superb - probably my favourite Pinot in NZ - pity the property has been sold and so no more Craggy Range Calvert. Earthy, mature berries, very smooth.
