Martinborough Pinot Noir

Drank it too young. Fleshy palate and juicy acid.

2013

Fresh. Fruity and fine. This is the finesse of kusuda.

Not for me to begin but the mid and finish were like an elegant Forrest Gump. Kept running.

Yet another Japanese prodigy from New Zealand: Hiro Kusuda in Martinborough | Crafted pinot noir with such a transparency & purity of the fruits | Microscopic production, maximum deliciousness

A gift from Benjamin Hasko--and utterly delicious Pinot Noir.

Very interesting! With 45 minutes of air, initially the wine has some sweet notes in mid palate causing me to guess New World. Quickly however it achieved a superb light balance that had me guessing! Light, cherries, stems I was surprised to find a New Zealand wine! Highly recommended

So much precision and love in this wine, power with elegance. Exceptional.

Kusuda, you bloody genuis! What an elegant wine. Needs time to develop more tertiary flavours, but it's just layers upon layers of red fruit encased in just the right amount of oak. Opened up over the period of two days, revealing rose petals, smokey game and forest floor characters, with a hint of lovely herbaceousness. Fine fine tannins. Long finish. So tasty!
