Notes of cherry strawberry and varnish. Medium- intensity. Light to medium weight. Lacking in power. When decanting no sediment at all - drained the bottle! A little disappointing overall with poor QPR.

Light to medium ruby with tawny rim - very Burgundian in colour. Sappy earthy and more old world than new. A nice counterpoint to the majority of NZ Pinots tasted last week, in Wellington, particularly the fuller bodied Otago styles.

Some sappy berry varnishy notes on nose. Light to medium weight palate with lingering intensity. More Burgundian than New World. 2012 vintage.

A little disappointing for the maker, the 864, and the vintage 2012. Light to medium in colour and palate. Good intensity and it will be interesting to try this in a year or 2. 17-

Raspberries, cherry cola, violets and smoke. Well balanced with good complexity.

Perfect 100 is this possible ? Taste like Kistler, Marcassin, j Rochioli, and throw in a touch of Aubert... Very impressive winemaking ! I can 't wait to get this great wine in the states and in the East Coast!! WOW! CB

This is impressive. Pure fruit, great balance, deep enticing aromas, wonderful texture. I'd love to see this with a few years behind it but tts drinking well enough now.
