A complex wine, incredibly delicious yet immediately approachable. The combination of earth, thyme and ripe cherries creates a savory mouthfeel carried by velvety tannins and soft acidity. Superb in every respect.

Premium Pinot - 3/6.5/9.5 = 19 and 96 points out of 100. NZ Central Otago Pinot 2010. Sensational!

Ruby with a touch of purple on the edges and aromas of black and red berry fruits with floral spice. On the palate black cherry and raspberry flavors with fine tannins on a crisp acidic frame. The finish yields a bit of toasty oak, full-body that has a lingering ending. Very Nice!

Spicy dark cherry, plum fruit with notes of wet leaves, tobacco, earthiness, vanilla hint and long finish. A lot going on but a pleasure and party in the mouth.

Despite having bottle age, this one is still young and perky. Bright fruit, acid, but tannin has smoothed away. Seems to favour liveliness over subtlety and depth.
