Region: Marlborough
Vintage: 2010
Colour: Medium ruby red
Alcohol: 14.0%
Bouquet: Elegant rotting twigs/bark and sour cherry and a hint of wet cow
Flavour: A surprisingly fuller mouth than expected, with abundant sour cherry and cedary flavours without them being overpowering. There are also drying, savoury but very mild tannins which have a touch of turmeric in there as well.
Points: 88 (4+7+12+7+8+50)
Notes: ~$32.00 ~460 Kc (although only $NZ 28 in its homeland). I bought six of these for $23 as compensation for another Pinot that K. found online that was unavailable from this supplier. Will be interesting to see how these develops.
I had this Pinot in the CR ages ago, I remember I liked it a lot, that was, however before my blog started, so no tasting notes exists
