Sem dúvidas, o melhor PN neozelandês que ja provei. Aos 15 anos de idade, talvez esteja no seu auge

Mostly clear pinkish red with some pink/orange bricking, but the lower part of the bottle had considerable fine sediments requiring filtering.
The nose on this was quite good and immediately put me to mind of Volnay. Pretty mix of red florals and red fruits, with an iron mineral strain, powdered rocks. Palate consistent with nose and releases some cocoa powder and rosehips. Shows its 13% abv a bit and has a nice round mouthfeel. Excellent bottle, drinking at a lovely early-to-mid- tertiary developed place. Glad I waited on this and sorry I don't have another. 93 at least

Drinking at peak. Has matured beautifully under a DIAM closure. None of the green/ herbal notes I often associate with NZ Pinots if this era. Probably due to the old vines. Lovely wine

Robe coquelicot faible densité, clair.
Nez expressif et complexe, cerise, fraise, cacao.
En bouche, belle impression d'équilibre entre des notes de petits fruits, framboises (Yo) et des notes d'élevage, cacao, café brun. Les tanins sont fins. La persistance est longue, légèrement poivré.
Moyenne du groupe: 4/5

Wow. Bottled under a Diam Cork. Showing so young still at 10 years old. Stunning example of Pinot Noir. Fruit, earth, acid, tannin. Perfect example of a PN developing with time and not fading one bit!
