80/100 35

Dense, stylish Pinot Noir with a lovely silken texture. Lovely sweet fruit flavours that are beautifully integrated into classy spicy oak. Long. (“pretty wine, light, cherry, strawberry, dilute” according to two judges). I was very impressed but could not convince the others to join me.

Tasted: Mar 2006   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $40 (~USD $34)
