Started off very hot, with alcohol hitting in the back of the throat. Maybe not too surprising at 16% ABV. By the end of the meal, was drinking beautifully and had mellowed out with nice integration of alcohol and tannins. As much as I love old world, great Napa cabs never disappoints. 12/25/23 — 4 months ago

See previous notes here on Delectable. Mid to pale ruby in colour. Pale yet powerful. Great aromatics of pansies, rose petals and violets also stalkiness. As Barb said the aromas of a beautiful garden. After a while an Animale, feral note not unlike some Burgundies we’ve had. Medium bodied palate - dried red fruits with a sweet yet savoury twist. A very polished new World Pinot by any measure. Tasters often identify with Central Otago and Martinborough for quality NZ Pinot Noir. Don’t forget about Canterbury in the South Island not far from the city of Christchurch. Luckily I have 2 left. Bob Campbell MW says drink through to 2025. — 7 months ago

Might be the best Syrah I’ve ever had. Lived up to its professional ratings. Would buy again! — 2 months ago

Not a great chard but reasonably flavorful and importantly, low octane at 13.0….a good weeknight quaffer — 5 months ago

Red and black fruits - cherry. Generally muted on the nose, even the following day. A big Pinot on the palate - it needed to be with curried prawns with plenty of heat. The following day similar notes - a good accompaniment to strong flavoured foods. Medium + savoury notes on the palate , yet to fully blossom, with fine Sandy tannins. A couple more years in the cellar would be beneficial. 99 points from Kiwi wine scribe, Bob Campbell MW. — 8 months ago
