Haven’t tasted this for six years and how it has developed in that time! At 23 years old it is a perfectly harmonious blend of mature fruit, supple tannins and elegant acidity. Somewhat overshadowed by the 1998 vintage, this wine is an absolute testament to how good aged Martinborough Pinot Noir can be.

Fully bodied.
Bright start but mellows out after airing.
Big wine, very deep and complex. Stunner.
