Still primary w deep plum and black fruit. I'd wait 5yrs to see some secondary development.

Awesome. A rare old-vine cuvée by Martinborough Vineyard - the Cuvée Marie Zelie Reserve Pinot Noir 2003 - largely never glimpsed in the wild outside New Zealand. Only 737 bottles produced in this vintage.

After you get past the fecal and the reduction this is a great Pinot with a lot of lush fruit.
