Complex & heavenly nose! Lifted & floral with med + intensity, dark ripe cherry & cranberry, clove, fresh crushed herbs especially thyme, grilled mushrooms & forest floor, red licorice, charcuterie. A touch of VA but inoffensive. Still plenty of fruit & vibrance on the palate: Med + body, high alcohol, hint of medical cherry (I don't mind it), tart cranberry, licorice, savoury & earthy w undertones of baking slices: cinnamon, clove & nutmeg, well integrated med tannins, med + acid, med + finish... Stunning

This just gets better with every try. Up front masses of kir combine with classic NZ notes of soy sauce and Asian spices. The weight is medium-full, velvety tannins all well integrated. A long finish with surprisingly deep notes along the purple fruit end of things, bigger than a typical Pinot but with excellent varietal character and it's own unique qualities. A definite wine of the year candidate.
