<p><b>89 points</b> - Medium red hint of purple. Red cherry and graphite nose. Lacks a bit of fruit at the core. Bitter. Earthy. Open for too long? Worse than last year we tried it.</p><p>Tasted on Mon, Sep 4, 2023.</p>

<p><b>91 points</b> - Medium purple red. Cherry nose, a bit of raspberry but definitely more cherry. Very grippy tannins, almost rubber tyre. Weird savoury component: meaty.</p><p>Tasted on Sun, Jul 31, 2022.</p>

<p><b>90 points</b> - Bright medium red with a violet meniscus. Dried potpourri, floral complexities with a touch of savoury character. Medium bodied, nice structure, measured, firm yet reasonably soft and velvetty. Perhaps needs time to develop complexity.</p><p>Tasted on Sun, Jul 31, 2022.</p>

<p><b>88 points</b> - Medium purple red. Raspberry, graphite nose. A bit lean and bony, could have more fruit density. Fine tannins. Fruit almost fully Integrat but from a difficult vintage. Not sure this will go anywhere.</p><p>Tasted on Thu, May 6, 2021.</p>

<p><b>86 points</b> - Medium dark violet red, bright. Hints of smoke and graphite with rose. Clean and fresh, a little delicate on the palate, medium to light bodied. Pretty and quite feminine, gentle tannin. Finely boned.</p><p>Tasted on Thu, May 6, 2021.</p>

<p><b>91 points</b> - Medium red purple. Graphite on the nose with hints of sulphides. Classic Otago pinot with raspberries and graphite. Stalky. Tannins still very strong and fine: needs time. A bit greenish. Try again in 2021</p><p>Tasted on Sun, Sep 15, 2019.</p>

<p><b>91 points</b> - Medium red purple with a touch of brick. Hints of cherry liquor and reductive notes on the nose. Chaffy, pleasant concentration, red cherry, gentle soft structure. Pleasant drinking with slightly grippy tannins. Food style.</p><p>Tasted on Sun, Sep 10, 2017.</p>

<p><b>89 points</b> - Soy nose. Developed colour. Palate shows fresh acidity with depth of flavours. Nice drinking. The soy nose being a slight cause of concern.</p><p>Tasted on Wed, Sep 7, 2016.</p>

<p><b>88 points</b> - Graphite pencil and raspberry nose - classic Otago. Some thyme there also. Quite tannic, modest fruit depth. The balance is borderline austere.</p><p>Tasted on Wed, Sep 7, 2016.</p>
