Beautiful wine. Still kicking after 30+ yrs. lacking a bit of acidity but tannins are still there. Fully integrated and long. Fish @67 Pall Mall. — a month ago
Could be confused with a Vosne village. Exquisite spicy dark fruit expression typical of Central Otago but lacking in tannin and sufficient acid to really sing. A great wine nonetheless — 2 months ago
Classic Priorat old vine grenache (with a splash of carignan?) med bodied, balanced, with fine tannins and a good spine of acid giving freshness and structure. A bit more fruit and age and this would be stunning — 5 days ago
Elegant. Great tannins — 2 months ago
Exceptional but young. Showing what rhe next 50yrs will bring. The tannins are the star. — 2 months ago
Home vineyard bottling. Dark and brooding on the nose. Classic Central. Dark fruit, savoury spice, earth. The palate has good weight and concentration of dark slightly sour cherry, and wood spice. Enough acid to provide the structure needed to hold the power together — 2 months ago
Dense savoury and dark fruit aromas. Silky and weightless on the palate. Classic Otago savoury character but with more red fruit than normal. Standard Rockburn is more serious and better p/q — 17 days ago
A massive, brooding, muscular expression of shiraz. Pure, deep, fantastic fine tannins, but needs some serious time. Better in 10 years, amazing in 20! — 2 months ago
Fresh as a daisy. Powerful. Umami, soy, prunes. — 2 months ago
