Not very good at all. Pickle briney and imbalanced. Tastes acidified.

2010 Urlar Wairarapa Pinot from NZ. Terroir driven. Intense black cherry, graphite, black truffle, wet stone, firm and smooth tannin. Wow. #pinot #nzwine #wine

Big too burly and spicy for me, yet very happy to have tried. It is a wine of some interest.

Beautiful ruby colour. Light body. Noteworthy: raspberry. Would be more appropriate on a hot sunny day.
