Mature Vine Lake Wanaka Pinot Noir

Another good Rippon Pinot. Really develops with air. Drank way better on night 2, so I'd decant if possible.

Deep red fruit/cherry/cranberry, kind of on the savory side. Black tea. Backing spices. A potpourri of florals.

Cranberry, cherry and leathery aromas with bright red fruits. A bit less extracted than the following year.

Rippon "Rippon" Pinot Noir 2011. Elegant & attractive.

Nick Mills, Rockstar-vigneron at Rippon, never disappoints

Sure mature. Brick brownish n a slight lethery note. Still strawberry but witheld n very collected. Nice wine w age - might be even better.
