Started on the excessive side but gained balance and complexity. Very marked by the regions’ spicy notes. Rich but fresh in the end. Needs time in bottle. 7 to 10 years maybe. We liked it. — 11 days ago

Sipping Fine Wine

9.0

Pale lemon with aromas of citrus and tropical fruit with herb and floral notes. On the palate flavors of peach, guava, lime and pear fruit with floral and some floral tones, lively acidity adding wet stones. Medium+ finish ending, slight citrus, with fruit, herbal, floral and salty mineral notes. Nice! Not a typical NZ SB, very muted letting aromas and flavors mixing well together. Screw cap! — 5 months ago

Great Gamay with good acidity and showing signs of red fruit, great pull from the Somm and perfect accompaniment to the French country style magret de canard. Cheers from Paris. — 7 months ago
