"The classy, youthful 2016 vintage was estate-grown, 400 metres above sea level, at Bendigo, in Central Otago, hand-picked and matured for 20 months in French oak barriques (25 per cent new.) Deep ruby, it is finely scented and weighty, with deep cherry, plum and spice flavours, oak complexity, and a long, finely structured finish. Best drinking 2022+" Michael Cooper
"A mature, complex, earthy wine on the nose with lots of wine-making, and oak-derived aromas such as leesy, milk chocolate, ground coffee with plum-skin Pinot characters and a touch of black pepper. It's a fuller-bodied, fleshy style with firm, chewy tannins that will generate many fans of flavoursome styles. However everything is integrated, and the wine is still full of life" NZ Wine Rater, Sep 2021
2016 was a very good year for Central Otago and this allowed them to bottle unfiltered, meaning less interference and giving them great palate weight. The aroma is finely scented and shows an abundance of fruit with notes of wild herbs, dried fruit and sweet spices. The fleshy palate has layers of complexity with finely structured tannins to the finish.
