For $49, this is great p/q. Less heavy than Neuendorf, and a touch more complex and balanced than Rockburn for the same money. There is the dark fruited spice of central otago but with a more burgundian acid and tannin profile. Savoury and long. — 13 days ago
This was incredible. All the complexities of great chardonnay are there - citrus, cream, mineral, brioche, roasted hazelnuts. Bready/mealy flavours are pronounced (malo) Perfect balance of fruit intensity and structure. For A$60 this is a steal! — 2 months ago
A perennial favourite and always special. Nose and colour only hint at the depth and concentration of pure pinot goodness. Pure red and dark fruit wrapped in a shroud of prominent but fine tannin. Dark and brooding savoury spice. Exceptional length and juicy grip. Very fine — 2 days ago
Impressive. Incredibly smoky and reductive on the nose. Gun smoke character follows on the palate, followed by creamy citrus and slate. Strong buy — 2 months ago
Deep ruby. Shy nose. Good balance of acid, tannin, and mid palate fruit weight. Red and dark fruit. Decent grip. — 2 months ago
Vibrant ruby. Muted nose. Pure strawberry and not much else. Palate is fine and smooth. Not enough structure or complexity for the price. — 3 days ago
Cracking pinot. The nose is reminiscent of Central Otago - darker fruit, spice, and earthy notes, but the palate is fresher, with red fruit coming to the fore. Really good mid palate, and enough fine tannin and acidity to lengthen the finish. Smokey, earthy aftertaste. Really very fine. — 7 days ago
Exceptional. Mealy reductive lemon on the nose. The palate is round but grippy with citrus, mineral, and malo notes. This is amazing value. Complex and balanced. — 2 months ago
Dark and brooding. Plum, dark cherry oaky spice and a good lick of briny goodness. The palate is beautifully balanced - good mid palate depth. New oak. Silky. — 2 months ago

Lived up to their reputation. Tannins were prominent but fine and integrated and not overbearing due to the fruit intensity. Balanced and long once it breathed for 1+ hr — a day ago
