This classic Central Otago pinot noir has a lovely aromatic nose and lifted perfume of spice and cherry. Rich and concentrated on the palate with ripe, red and dark fruits, hints of chocolate and subtle integrated oak, the wine has mouth caressing tannins and a very long finish. It will continue to develop depth and complexity for 5-7 years.

• 93/100 "Rich, almost luscious Pinot Noir with seductively soft, ripe cherry and plum flavours that linger tantalisingly long after the wine has been swallowed (or in my case, spat). It has a truly silken texture. A real crowd pleaser. " Bob Campbell MW - Bobswinereviews.com
