purchased at winery four years ago...this bottle has held up well and generated good memories from the great meal had at Herzog Winery in NZ. in terms of the wine...lighter in color with great initial nose of earth and smoke...on the palate lighter in style but continuing the flavor profile on the nose...fruit was solid but a supporting role as you would expect from this wine at 7 years of age. This is just a wonderful style food wine and the contrast to many local pinots. I would say the wine is probably past its peak but still solid...ideally you would like a bit more of everything and a bit more size in the mouth but nonetheless really solid wine.
