93/100 55

Single vineyard Pinot Noir with great fruit intensity contained by firm tannins. Quite burgundian in style with the typical sappiness I associate with youthful examples. Mineral, cherry, plum and oak flavours are evident with more to come after bottle age.

Tasted: May 2009   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $65 (~USD $55)
