"dainty" fruit, just the right amount of junk, a little rosemary/lavender and maybe a hint too much campfire. Liked it.

Superb blend of typicity with regional characteristics. Taste those old vines... One of the best Central Otagos I've tasted, and there have been many. Drinking perfectly now but still plenty of life, no need to rush. Purchased in Vancouver August 2015 for ~$55.
