Screwcap can definitely age! Fresh and concentrated both on nose and palate. ripe, blackish fruit w/ sweet sprice. rich, but not oak-heavy at all. The texture is almost seductive. 3 years ago i thought it's too oak-heavy, not anymore with this bottle.

Dark red and slightly opaque in the glass. Strawberry and vanilla aromas. Juicy cherry flavours with a moderate complexity but a decently long finish. Very enjoyable NZ Pinot Noir.

Heavy handed plummy style, quite popular in NZ. Is this really the style Marlborough (or anywhere) should strive for?
14%, screwcap

Black cherry on the nose. Cherry on the palette with cocoa on the finish. An excellent New Zealand Pinot. Well balanced with a little extra fruit

Opened quickly with pronounced cherry/fruit forward nose. Black fruit, very rich. Did not see my improvement on day 2.
