I attended a blind tasting of Pinots the other night and was blown away by how good this wine looked. My initial reaction was that it was New World with lovely red berry fruits. However, like many young Pinots it changed quite a bit over the 20 minutes that I tasted it. The colour was reasonably dark and the nose had a hint of sweet and sour style fruit flavours that I often associate with Central Otago. A few minutes later these aromas resolved into cherry and a bit of blackberry. The palate showed superb length with the cherry of the black, intense flavour type. The tannins were firm suggesting this will continue to deliver for some time. A very impressive wine. Drink : 2008 - 2016 96 points David Lloyd, Winorama
