95/100 55

The good winemakers of Martinborough must be pleased that their namesake winery is a consistently high performer with the region’s signature grape variety. This silken-textured, almost chewy wine is dense, powerful and yet supremely elegant. It reveals an array of subtle fruit, oak and dried herb/spice flavours that will become even more impressive with time.
