NZ's Finest Pinot Noir Collection (Fine Wine Delivery, Mt Wellington, Auckland): moderate style, fruit coated firm tannins, melt together very well, smooth texture, good structure and gently presented. a little exposed alcohol in the end. it shows elegance and complexity now, also shows great cellar potential. The original winemaker put "2-4+ years" on official notes, however it obviously will continue to develop over the next 3-5 years, very interesting one from a great vintage. I like it.
Alc: 13.8% / pH: 3.66 / TA: 5.7 g/l.
