Very savoury nose. Palate is sweet with intense dark fruit and spices but without enough acid to balance the opulent fruit character. Mouth coating and long, but a but heavy handed. — a year ago

Red and blue fruits give way to orange zest , animal fur ,baking spices violets and minerals . Rich and full-bodied on the palate yet has Wonderful elegance and mineral infused finish with lingering cherry and dry extract . This wine comes from the valley floor and you get the richness and depth from the heavier soil. A stunning bottle that will improve over the next few years and last at least a decade more . — 5 years ago

Beautiful bold wine from north otago. It has the raw power of limestone combined with hints of raspberry and plum. Powerful aroma. Pick a meat that can stand up to the wine. It almost tastes like a Rhone blend in my opinion. — 8 years ago
Touch of Brett adds the perfect amount of spice. — 9 years ago
Still plenty of fruit. Sweet black cherry and spice. A nose reminiscent , strangely enough, of a Charles Hiedseick NV champagne — 9 years ago

This bottle is smoking good. Complex with strawberry fruit, a leafy/autumnal/leafy/tobacco herbal tone and exquisite balance. — 4 years ago
Cherry, raspberry, strawberry, some mushroom and earthy notes on the nose. Tart red fruits, a bit of earth and spice on the palate. A pretty Pinot! — 5 years ago

Dinner at Amah with London Lees. Very nice balanced Pinot with a cherry bright nose and a core of berries that lifts the wine, took an hour or so to open up. Very nice, one more. AA26 — a year ago
