Written Notes

Spends just 9 months in barrel. Otago-esque form here – there’s that boysenberry purple edge you see in Central Pinot too. Otago via Coal River Valley. Is it a latitude thing? Anyway, this is ripe and the acid is soft but there’s a quantum of flavour. A ripe year in context with plum juiciness and a ripple of whole bunch spice, the effect ripe and full and generous. Plush, generous and immediately attractive, but there’s spice and structure and tannins. 1er Cru quality again.

Best drinking: Good now, though will appreciate a year or so in bottle. Then over five years. 18.5/20, 94/100. 13.5%, $83. Would I buy it? I like and value-wise it stacks up. But the Chardonnay I enjoyed even more.
