Dry yet fruitful. Smelling hints of copper in the aroma along with raspberries and oak. Cocoa hints as well.

The high alcohol is well integrated. There are a few layers of complexity. Ok overall

On the nose cranberry, strawberry, perfume, violet, and spice. On the palate, cranberry, rhubarb, smokey. A tad bitter on the palate.

They secured some of the best sites throughout Marlborough. They have been making Pinot noir since the late 1980s.

Immense scents of raspberry and other fruits. Kinda spicy. Enjoying it while eating smoked duck breast. I guess it's worth $50 a bottle.
