Johanneshof Cellars Mayburn SV
Reserve Pinot Noir 2009 Marlborough 13.5%
A: Developing - Burgundy
N: An integrated bouquet reflecting its appearance;
nuances of dried cherry, a savoury complexity, oak and barnyard subtleties
(much like some Burgundies). Expecting one thing and getting another – this is
a surprise - a nice one. Moderate+
complexity – read on.
P: A Pinot Noir for connoisseurs – there is complexity,
subtlety, flavours and textures taking the taster on a journey not so much of
discovery but satisfaction. Moderate tannins – fine and almost integrated; a
mix of cherry and oak spice flavours. Balanced and drinking well.
Some oxidation noted at the end of the third taste. Very
nice wine.
