Quite pale – much paler than the 2019. Quite developed in colour, too, like a reddish tawny. Has a slightly reductive note, just a little bit rubbery, and needs air but it doesn’t change much on the day after opening. Underneath that is bright, zesty, small-red-berried fruit, almost sour in its mouth-watering freshness. Distinctive but less elegant/subtle than the 2019 and less likely to age well, I think, though perhaps that reductive aspect is going to give it greater longevity.

Surprisingly light colour for a Kiwi pinot but the intensity and length of flavour are there. The tremendously complex bouquet speaks of undergrowth, fresh-turned earth, spices and dried fruits and flowers. Fine tannins. Elegantly focused on the palate, lingering and satisfying, it's the ideal red to serve with roast pork or mushroom risotto. 28 Oct 2021 Drink 2021–2026
