Floral overtones of new oak play on the nose. The palate is a picture of restrained sumptuousness: although the texture is rich, the body remains slender. Freshness, white pepper spice and gentle, dark cherry fruit characters. Score: 92 Decanter, Decanter.com Maturity: 2020-2028 07 October 2018 |

A 50-50 blend of fruit from Northburn and Bannockburn (Cloudy Bay leases a portion of the Calvert Vineyard), the 2015 Te Wahi Pinot Noir is a full-bodied, plummy wine. It shows some pretty florals on the nose, but the palate is chocolaty and rich, offering hints of cola and dark-skinned plums. It's powerful and plush, with a velvety texture and lingering finish, almost verging on Californian (Russian River Valley?) in style. Score: 91 Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2018-2025 28 February 2018 |

This shows plenty of fruit richness with darker cherries, toasted spices and earthy aromas, as well as some fresh violet-like florals, too. The palate is succulent, smoothly layered and has attractive tannins that build in layers to a smooth, pastry-like finish. Ready now. Score: 93 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com Maturity: 2017+ 28 March 2017 |
