2000 Back Block
Pinot Noir
- NZ$34.00-
Absolutely huge palate. Power packed. An awful lot of intensity and power packed into a tight frame. Tannins present are not massive and clumsy but are very fine and entirely appropriate for such very rich fruit.Without the tannins this wine would be all over you. Tannins are providing restraint and balance. Sour cherry and licorice flavours on palate. Quite amazing weight and structure. Incredible length...palate just keeps on going. Very very clever and subtle use of new oak.
Very sweet rich fruit on mid palate. Wine all about weight, intensity and structure at this early stage.

2000 Nelson Pinot Noir
- NZ$20.00-
Nose carries to palate. Cherry, licorice and clove characters on palate. Good assertive tannins provide structure.
Very youthful tannins. Excellent quality for lower priced Pinot Noir. High priced structure at lower price
point!! Normally second label Pinot from the New World is atrocious and is TOTALLY void of structure (thus rendering it undrinkable) and would not compete against second rate Beaujolais. Not this wine!!!!

NZ$34.00-
Palate is intense. Rich fruit in mid palate. Lovely weight. Excellent
fine tannins kick in and provide great length. Very youthful, fine wine. Palate is long and seamless. Fruit very sweet and ripe...fruit just seamlessly flows into powdery tannins. Tannins very silky..very fine. Quite Margaux like....very elegant. Very suave Cab. A cross between '90 and '91. Certainly up there with the top Caps that Glovers have produced. 2nd glass tobacco, blackberry black currants on nose.
