Had this Friday during a blind tasting of pinot noir. I brought this bottle to the party and I think it cost me around US$45 in a wine shop in Sydney.

Unlike Jimmy V, my bottle did exhibit a little funk, at least on the nose - mushrooms, peat, and stewed tomatoes. Good depth of fruit on the palate, mostly red cherries, and a trace of slate. Supple mouthfeel. Still tight and needs a little more time. 89P.

I liked the 2000 Ata Rangi better.

Cheers,

Otis

jimmyv's notes are quite accurate. red fruits dominate. this is a more elegant style than some of the california central coast pinots i usually drink & enjoy, but i liked it very well nonetheless. 89 points seems fair.
