2011 Greywacke Pinot Noir Marlborough

Elegant Pinot Noir with quite concentrated red cherry, violet, mixed spice and coffee flavours. Sweet fruit is balanced by fine tannins which help drive a lengthy finish. A taut, thoroughbred wine that needs time to unlock its obvious complexity.

There is a pretty, perfumed, musky note to this wine with hints of purple flowers, game and light hummus ensheathing the core of sexy red-cherry and spicy plum. Spacious and silky on the palate with a sense of airness and complexity. Some cranberry high notes creep in and the mineral acid line drives along through a curtain of chalky, ripe tannins. Superb drinking. Drink in 2015.

Pale to medium ruby-purple-colored, the 2011 Pinot Noir offers pronounced notes of red cherries, black raspberries and red currants with suggestions of underbrush, violets and cinnamon stick. Medium-bodied with plenty of mouth-filling red berry and earthy flavors, a medium level of fine- grained tannins and vibrant acid, it finishes with very good length and finesse. Drink it now to 2017+.

Not only does this wine show off some attractive floral notes, it also delivers that supple texture so desired in Pinot Noir. Mocha, herb and black cherry notes all make appearances, but the fruit dominates, gliding into a long, silky finish. Drink now-2017.

Elegant, with supple, fresh and lively flavors of raspberry and cherry, meshing harmoniously with details of clove, forest floor, tobacco leaf, pepper and dried lavender that echo on the long, lingering finish. Drink now through 2024. -MW

Elegant, medium let, frisk frugtsmag af kirsebær, skovjordbær, urter og vaniljetoast. Let og lækker.

Vin fra Kevin Judd, som i sin tid skabte Cloudy Bay som måske var den vin som gav New Zealand sit gennembrud. Ganske intensiv duft af røde kirsebær i duften. I smagen modne jordbær, kirsebær, peber, krydderier og violer. Stringent med en pæn syre med en del grønne tanniner og tørhed.

Super lækker og indsmigrende New Zealandsk Pinot Noir med tobaksblade og skovbund i næsen og opulent mund med noter af peber, kirsebær og kantareller. Pinot Noir på højeste niveau.

Elegant, kølig Pinotnæse med pæn mineralitet og kultiveret druekarakter. Mørkt ristet krydderi, lidt lakridstoner og en solid dosis vaniljetræ, men slipper godt fra det. Intens og eksotisk. Masser af mineralitet, selv om frugten er af den rige og aromatiske slags. Kontant og vellykket tanninstruktur. Smag med mørke bær, og et flot, glat, harmonisk helhedsindtryk og masser af venlig længde. Ambitiøs vin, der vedstår sig sit oversøiske præg på nydelig facon.

Ikke så dyb rød farve. Intens duft af kirsebær, lidt hindbær, krydderi. Mellemfyldig vin med lækker frugt og en smag, der har lidt pondus samtidigt med at den er fint balanceret med moderne pinot-tone. Den slutter dejligt og fløjlsblødt. Vinen passer fint til fjerkær og lyst kød.
