  Tightly wound. Cherries, red & black, with some plum and maybe cranberries. Nicely tart, which I usually give too the cranberries. Seems like it wants to open more.

  Pinot under $100 (East Bistro): Easy call for new-world with raspberry-like red fruits and a sweet finish. It was warmer than I expected from Otago though - I was in Australia for this. Generic, not very interesting.

  Pale ruby, hazy.
  
  Nose: Sous bois, sandalwood, bruleed cherry.
  
  Mouth: Juiced strawberry, raspberry, and light creamed cherry are blended through with notes of sandalwood and clove ahead of the woodsy, fine grained finish that delivers a hit of sous bois and green tea to finish out.
  
  Overall: Distinctive and developed with strong tertiary notes that are very well integrated. A lot of fun and ready to go now. Appealing to all palates, and fun to share this with people who both know and don't know wine as it's both finessed and user friendly. Worth seeking out if interested.
  
  93.

  Zoom tasting of Australia and New Zealand wines, hosted by Auriol Wines, Hampshire, UK. Light garnet colour. Red berry fruits, with a nice maturity on the nose. Quite rich palate, ripe fruit, spicy, only let down a little by not having much depth.

  Rose and hibiscus flora note, slight perfumery. strawberry and honeysuckle to the taste. Mouthful of medium tannis and low acidity, striking accord of balance like a young lady still blossoming. I reckon 1-2 years will be more tasteful.
