Mahi, 2010

Tasting: Marlborough Pinot Noir

Exotic spice, incense, showing development; pretty floral-tinged red fruit, with attractive freshness and balance, with fine tannins. Long.

Tasting: Marlborough Pinot Noir

Delicate, fragrant nose. Palate sweet and lifted. Very plush and showy, with masses of vanilla-tinged berry fruit, and velvety tannins. Rounded acidity makes for easy drinking, and generous oak doesn’t impede the vibrant fruit.

Tasting: Marlborough Pinot Noir

Sweet, spicy and oaky on the nose, though with red berry fruit there too. Not very subtle, and quite oaky, but still unmistakeably Pinot Noir with fresh acidity. The oak is a little coarse. 15
