Kiwa Single Vineyard Martinborough Pinot Noir

I had this 2015 and I could sense it was already starting to show negative signs of age. Starting to show tertiaries and tiredness. It’s a lovely wine and I would rate it higher, but if you have 2015s or older vintages you should drink them now or RIP. That’s my feeling. #pinotnoir #martinborough #newzealand

I drank plenty of this on the last night of PINOT NZ 2017 and forgot to take notes. One of the better Martinborough Pinot's made by Aussie Winemaker Larry McKenna.

Savoury and built around its mineral spine, but it's also angular and still backward on the palate. Not entirely sure additional cellaring will do much good, but it will for sure not give up without a fight. 89+?

Sexy shite. Thanks Larry!

17/20 (92/100)

As always, this is stunning, and with a few years in bottle, it's showing great! It'll cruise another 10 years easily.

I give this a higher rating than the 8.9 average. A very smooth yet full bodied Pinot with an excellent nose. Very drinkable. Would get again. Love me some New Zealand Pinot Noir. ❤️😊🍷

Pleasant but unremarkable New World style Pinot

Vibrant spicy red fruit that came fully to life with Tammy’s awesome BLT, home grown tomatoes on toasted Tuscan sour dough bread.

Impressed that it's only 13.5% and no screwcap (for NZ) but still goes to show one can make a generic new world Pinot outside of the usual traps. Don't bother.
