  93 points The Real Review

Medium colour still with slight purple tints, the bouquet charming and varietal, with sweet dark cherry notes. Fruit leads the way. It's mellowing nicely, building complexity and charm, the tannins having melted away neatly. Drinking in the zone now. (Screwcap)

A lovely example of maturing, though not old Pinot Noir which still has freshness and vitality, but is increasingly complex and integrated. There's real pinosity here and genuine interest. Brambly, undergrowth, roasted root vegetables and a pleasing rhubarb tang. It's drinking very nicely indeed, and reveals itself with time in the glass - deserves decanting. Extra points for drinkability. Martinborough prettiness over Central Otago muscularity.
