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 — 5 years ago

I expected more from a #singlevineyard release from #kumeu and that has been touted by the likes of #jancisrobinson must be an #mw thing. Too expensive for what it delivered. Better off with the #estate wines of Kumeu. #newzealand #pinotnoir — 6 years ago

Nice. But a little past it’s prime. Look for an earlier vintage. #pinotnoir #newzealand — 6 years ago

Tobacco funk and skunk on the nose. Charred wood and toast on the palate. Cherries a gogo. #newzealand #pinotnoir # — 6 years ago

From NZ's premier red wine area comes this Syrah that shows a fierce savoury attack, a lean, refreshing and tannic texture with admirable 12,5% and such a presence of complex, atractive flavours: sexy raspberry, cracked black pepper nose and a refreshing acidity. Excellent! #syrah #gimblettgravels #hawkesbay #newzealand — 10 years ago

This is some #smoothcriminal type of #pinot #pinotnoir very age worthy and #cellar ageable. It is expensive but I feel it is a sure bet. #martinborough #newzealand — 5 years ago

Pale pale lemon with pronounced aromas of citrus (grapefruit, tangerine) thiols. Some green fruit (Green Apple, kiwi) and herbaceous hints (green pepper). Dry, high acidity, medium alcohol, medium body and medium finish. #riesling #newzealand #marlborough — 6 years ago

Reminiscent of an old world #pinotnoir there’s a bitterness on the pallet like a black tea bag. Red fruit and potpourri on the nose. Very good. #newzealand — 6 years ago

Unfortunately it was oxidized. I thought #newworld #newzealand and #screwcap even if it’s 2011 it should be perfect...not the case. It was gone. Optimum Storage — 8 years ago

Alsatian-inspired, ungrafted, single vineyard NZ Riesling. Mineral, elderflower, citrusy and flowery nose. Very much into the off-dry, but the refreshing palate brings a wonderful balance. Only 11,5%, but that's no impediment for thorough enjoyment.

Medium plus aromas and flavors of tart citrus fruit (Mayer lemons, orange) and popcorn and vainilla. It seems overtly ripe on the nose, but the acidity balances the ripe fruit on the palate. #chardonnay #newzealand #marlborough — 5 years ago

Amazing. Such a concentrated fruit completely balanced by the acidity that is just right, not puckering not sour just balancing the fruit and then there are lovely hints of vainilla and cream in the chorus. Love it. #chardonnay #newzealand #martinborough — 5 years ago

Borderline 9.0 it is very good but not outstanding. Definitely better on the palate than on the nose. On the palate it has a lovely sweet spice finish with hints of cedar, sage and clove. #pinotnoir #newzealand — 6 years ago

This #newzealand #pinotgris features white peach, lemon, guava and other tropical fruit aromas. On the palate it has a off-dry character but it’s honest in that you taste the same aromas - a quite agreeable crisp white. — 7 years ago

This really felt like a Bordeaux wine in good state of evolution; complex nose, polished tanins, fresh finish, medium + lenght. Wow #hawkesbay #newzealand #karaokepairing — 8 years ago
