Made in Martinborough NZ by Japanese perfectionist Hiro Kusuda. At vintage time he flies out a team of pickers from Japan who inspect each and every grape before crushing. A light to medium bodied Syrah with white pepper and ginger notes - also dried meat. On palate you can actually taste the pepper. Love this style of wine. Cannot see a long cellaring future however. Lovers of big Barossa styles may not like this. With a little more mid palate fruit I would have scored 96+. Very much like another Kiwi Syrah - Te Mata Bullnose from Hawkes Bay - one of my faves - also loads of white pepper. — 7 years ago

Delicious Syrah and a full circle to the first Naked wine I encountered. It is full bodied without being jammy, thick with tannins, and redolent with currant flavors. — 9 years ago

A bit more rounded on day 2. I think this will get better with age. — 10 years ago

I was expecting some oxidative aromas (the amber-colored glass led me to think this was more aged than it is), but this beauty is light, bright and fresh. Lemon and brioche nose, with tiny bubbles, and a deftly-crafted palate of lemon/lime, green apple, wet stone, and a lovely, delicate and long finish. A terrific Cava. — 9 years ago

This is just an outstanding wine! Exciting, exuberant and reflecting so much the unique soul carried by Herdade do Rocim! This 2011 is a pure national Hampton... Not being a fan of Touriga Nacional, I must admit this harmonic baco is on the rise! A must — 10 years ago

2014: Now we are in the presence of royalty so mind your P's and Qs. Te Mata 'reputedly' make the best NZ red in Coleraine and this is the little brother's er little brother. It is beetroot red showing it is as fresh as a daisy. But the taste is already exceptional for the year and the price at $22. No cab sav grassy rebellion and no merlot tart it is refined, low acid low sweetness. Like the All Blacks No. 10 we obviously have depth in numbers and age. It is a delight to drink and will surely improve. I like it — 10 years ago

Muted nose, blackberry aromas and other Cabernet notes. Medium weight - a detuned version of the premium Cuvée, Coleraine - New Zealand's best Cabernet producer IMO. A lovely Cabernet blend but I can't see the point of extended cellaring. Tasted 61 weeks later with consistent notes. Certainly no need to cellar any further. — 8 years ago

Best if the wines I have tried in Israel. Cab blend. Great noise and exquisite balance for a young wine. — 8 years ago

Radical wild thyme. This wine has game-y notes and red fruit you wish you had squeezed. A surprise opening by a good mate. I hear the vineyard views are Tolkenesque and the drive a cliffhanger. — 10 years ago
