89 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "Ripe pear, spice and apple sauce notes of the nose.The full bodied palate provides a very crisp backbone of acidity, bestowing the richness of this wine with some lift. Very long, spicy finish. Drink now." (01/09) K&L's notes - We got a great deal on a wee bit of this wine from one of the pioneering wineries in Central Otago. The grapes were hand harvested from five different vineyards on the estate in Bannockburn. Post fermentation, the wine remained on the lees for 3 months with a weekly stirring. The nose offers spicy pear, peach and nectarine with some nice mineral notes. These flavors continue on the palate with a round creamy texture and good acidity that lead to a juicy finish with good persistence. (Jim Chanteloup, K&L New Zealand buyer)
