The flagship wine for Pegasus Bay, this is just brilliant. Its class is evident when lined up alongside its sibling, albeit the latter was a year younger. There is more density and generosity yet there is no denying the sexy and lacy appeal. Boom!
Red plums and dark cherries consume the mouth with a curtain of delicate spices flanking the edge. Some earthy and meaty feels drive through the mid-palate but the weight showcases finesse and deft handling. Saturated by interest, the length seemingly doesn't want to end.
A sublime expression of New Zealand Pinot Noir, if you can stretch your dollar further to lash out, loosen the belt buckle, kick off your shoes and just get comfortable.
