This is one of North Canterbury’s greatest Pinot Noirs, typically very rich in body and flavour. Many of the vines are over 25 years old and the wine is matured for 18 months in French oak barriques (about 40 per cent new). The 2014 vintage (5*) is fragrant, with deep, youthful colour. Already delicious, it is weighty, with concentrated, very ripe plum and spice flavours, a vague hint of liquorice, and a well-rounded, lasting finish. Drink now or cellar.
