TASTING NOTE: Generous and succulent, this is a richly fruited and textured pinot showing dark cherry, floral, cedar and spice characters. The wine is concentrated and beautifully weighted with excellent harmony and integration, finishing long and supple. At its best: now to 2020. Score - 93 (Sam Kim, wineorbit.co.nz, Jan. 2015) |
