From one of New Zealand's celebrated vintages, this Pinot should be showing some age but it still feels pretty youthful. There are notes of rich, ripe cherry, cola, black pepper and a woody, cedary spice. The palate is plush and satiny, and here its age shows a touch with fruit heading more into the dried spectrum than fresh. It finishes a little on the woody side. Overall it's lacking in some of the complexity and balance one would hope for by this stage.
