Classic. Ripe but lean. Bit stem my but full on the palate. And not super pricey at all for Central Otago. Yum!

Good mild Pinot. Drank this 2013 bottle in 2022. Probably as long as it could go.

For a $20 Pinot this awesome! I get prominent notes of wet earth/forest with some fruit and vanilla almost cherry cola like!
