Богатый и сложный в ароматике: красные ягоды, специи, кофе, животный тон, однако аромат быстро уходит. Во вкусе хорошая кислотность, но общее впечатление портит излишняя спиртуозность

Purple garnet, relatively earthy aroma with firm tannin. For me , need more time to drink.

A luggage export from my time in NZ. Body was middle weight, and showed off mostly darker cherry, toasty cranberry character and dried herbal. Tannins had integrated nicely and were a little larger grain (180 grit sand paper). More masculine and muscle in its fruit expression and typical of Otago.

Great fruits, elegant sexy pinot. Nice touch of forest floor with sweet berries and cherry. Awesome length.

Nice fruit, decent acid, quaffable. Maybe too quaffable...

A touch hot, but bright red fruit with tar and florals rounding out the nose.

Medium-light weight but with good structure, and some dusty tannins. Black cherry, some licorice.

Crisp red fruits, gentle oak flavours. Quite long finish. Nice New Zealand wine.
