Loved this Syrah (and a nice change from NZ Pinot as good as it is) from Japanese perfectionist Kusuda. White pepper and spice on nose and palate. Medium bodied with medium plus intensity. Delicious. Will seek out back in Australia. — 9 years ago

On the nose, extremely delicate & soft notes of citrus, fragrant flowers and soft minerality. On the palate, soft, lean lemon, lime juice, grapefruit, underripe green melon, citrus blossoms & beautiful soft minerals. The long finish is a lean but rich mellowed citrus. — 9 years ago

A fascinating delicious wine. I'm not normally a Pinot Gris fan but this was a wow wine. Notes of Pear and Honeysuckle. Rich and luscious, full mouthfeel - some sweetness. Finishes dry with a trace of bitterness which is not a bad thing. Excellent. — 10 years ago

Dry and full of mineral on the nose with notes of petrol, beeswax and white flowers. Full, luscious and creamy on the palate. A mouthful of fresh acidity leads to flavors slate and stone with slight herbal notes. The finish is long, full and mouth coating. — 10 years ago

Kusuda, you bloody genuis! What an elegant wine. Needs time to develop more tertiary flavours, but it's just layers upon layers of red fruit encased in just the right amount of oak. Opened up over the period of two days, revealing rose petals, smokey game and forest floor characters, with a hint of lovely herbaceousness. Fine fine tannins. Long finish. So tasty! — 9 years ago
