Note di degustazione
Even better than I remember from last year, the 2015 Pinot Noir includes 40% whole clusters (about the usual proportion). It's floral and stemmy, then adds huge black cherry fruit and an ample dusting of complex spices. Medium to full-bodied, it's firm and tannic but not unapproachable, with a long, lip-smacking finish.

The 2015 Martinborough Pinot Noir has plenty of blackcurrant, raspberry and light cranberry scents on the nose, which is quite pure and a little broody at first but opens up with aeration. The palate is well balanced with supple tannin. This feels quite solid in the mouth, showing insistent grip and good backbone, but needs a little more complexity to develop on the finish.
40% whole-bunch pressed. Will be released in May 2017. Juicy, round, lively and fleshy. Hint of milkiness on the nose. Firm underneath. Very exciting. (JR)
