Raspberry and strawberry nose – very ripe and jolly. Loads of drive and concentration, with a bit of juniper bitterness on the finish to leave a savoury aftertaste. (RH)

Stephen Tanzer, Vinous
Score 91/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Sep 2009
Good bright medium red. Very ripe, pungent aromas of strawberry, raspberry, incense and chocolate; more complex than the basic Central Otago offering. Fat, sappy and sweet, with a silky texture to the red fruit flavors. Lush and broad on the back end but at the same time energetic and brisk, with peppery lift contributing to an impression of seriousness.

Very rich fruit – polished and lush though very unburgundian! Still a little astringent. The alcohol seems a little obvious. (JR)
