Smell like rhubarb and strawberry. Bright fruitiness of Beaujolais but has a raw undercurrent. Medium acid, velvety tannins, sheer drinkability. — 8 years ago

Not as opulent as some Central Otago Pinots. This is from Martinborough. James Halliday who has had more Burgundies than most of us called this the "Pommard of New Zealand"! Notes of spice and rhubarb with excellent length. A top quality Pinot. Not cheap at $100+. — 9 years ago

Bright aromas of sour red cherries, rhubarb, earthy spice and some savorury/stalky herbal qualities. Both and weight both immaculate. Supple, fluid, intense and great length. Drinking well now with develop just stating to peek through the primary fruits. Still has time. — 9 years ago

Love the intense strawberry and rhubarb tones I find from this vineyard. This vintage also showing a little more black cherry, blood orange, spice, and more sandalwood. Balanced, poised, ready to go out of the gates. — 9 years ago

Rhubarb, cranberry, earth, tobacco, dried herbs, oregano, savory meat, and Brett. M+ acid, round tannin, body and finish. M+ complexity. Lots of structure. Tart fruit on the palate. — 9 years ago

Strawberry, rhubarb, earth, leather, iron, great acid and freshness for a 67. This just proves it is all about the producer and Rousseau is one of the best. — 10 years ago

Huge and ripe for a Beaujolais, with jammy cherry fruit and some rhubarb tartness with a slight hint of animal musk and pink peppercorn. Complex and deep but still juicy with great structure. Mmm. — 8 years ago

If you look in the dictionary under elegance, there is a picture of this wine. The nose might be the best red floral noses I've experienced. The fruit is understated ripe strawberries, cherries, pomegranate, cooked rhubarb, dried red roses, touch of red licorice cola, baking spices, a fine chalkiness that sticks to the mid tongue and a finish that doesn't stop. — 9 years ago

A bit tart at first but opened up very nicely, especially with food. Agree with others about the rhubarb notes. — 9 years ago

Fantastic wine from my favorite winery. Definitely not the sweetest wine, as it has a touch of bitterness to it - but it certainly blends well for an excellent flavor that goes well with food or on its own. You definitely can't go wrong with the Mallow Run Rhubarb, even if you prefer drier wines. — 9 years ago

From magnum. Youthful. Pops in your mouth. Roasted dark cherry and rhubarb compote notes. Loads of cola flavors transition beautifully into a long, earthy, tannic finish. Amazing. — 10 years ago

9.2

A touch of red fruit still on the nose. Baked rhubarb, cherry compote, dusty, cedar, faint cumin, damp forest floor, and Sherry/nutty notes. In the palette still tangy acid that brings a vibrancy and tension to a juicy lean body. Most of the structure from acid, but finishing tannins provide a little drying to the mouth. Captivating, interesting and delicious. — 10 years ago
