"Most impressive Central Otago pinot announces itself at the very start. Perfumed with more earthy dusty notes emerging. Balances the floral of red berry and roses with an interesting brick dust character. It works. There is a degree of palate tension yet there is flesh. It‘s that classic pinot thing. That fine thread of acid contributes the final piece to a very fine wine."
The palate is taut and powerful with powdery fine tannins up front lending a sinewy elegance. A fine streak of acidity offers a lively backdrop to the abundant berry fruits, presenting a wine that is both powerful and dense yet beautifully light on its feet.
