Nose of ripe red fruits plus black plum. Obvious whole bunch influence. Fruit influence has diminished a little since previous tasting but there was some fruit sweetness when tasting at the end of the.palate and the bottle. Kiwi expert Bob Campbell MW was very impressed and said “the best Ata Rangi I’ve tasted “ when he tasted it in June 2016.

May 25th, 2024Red and black fruits - cherry. Generally muted on the nose, even the following day. A big Pinot on the palate - it needed to be with curried prawns with plenty of heat. The following day similar notes - a good accompaniment to strong flavoured foods. Medium + savoury notes on the palate , yet to fully blossom, with fine Sandy tannins. A couple more years in the cellar would be beneficial. 99 points from Kiwi wine scribe, Bob Campbell MW.

Aug 13th, 2023Dense dark Ruby in colour. Red berry perfume with Sous Bois. Medium plus bodied with rich cherry and red berry flavours. Somewhat closed and constrained - yet to spread its wings and reveal its full potential.

Beautiful, opulent and complex. Concentrated and young, red fruits and chocolatey oak. Opened well in the glass, beautiful oak, spices and fruit. Impeccable balance. Holds its alcohol in check. Superb.

Very interesting, my first PN from New Zealand. Very spicy, my description is Mahogany. It took more than an hour, but at the end of our dinner it opened up as true Gevrey-Chambertin competitor. My advice - must be decanted.
