I agree with J.Ms note from six years ago - this s still in very good condition. Very sweet fruit now but attractively so, with some length and reasonable complexity. A charming reminder of both the quality and staying power of good NZ Pinot Noir.

Good colour, slight redness on the rim. Savory, spicy nose - initially somewhat subdued but opened after some time in glass. Intense fruit opening. Good structure and balance with silky tannin and moderate acid. Reasonably long with good mix of dark red fruit and meatiness. Drinks well now but would last.

14.4% alc...Spicy, spicy nose, rich and deep red berry fruit - richer than would indicate Pinot Noir...delicious, spicy, rich with extremely long finish. This wine is ageing beautifully.

With Taran and Anita. I think they enjoyed this more than I. I seem to be drifting away from the New World style of Pinot.
