Two Sisters Pinot Noir 2006
Opened this for the Rugby World Cup Final - it was the only Kiwi wine in the house - and it proved rather an apt metaphor for the All Blacks that night.
Whilst, ultimately, the wine delivered, it lacked the finesse and fluidity of some of its peers. Solid, sturdy - but not particularly inspiring. As I say, a bit like the All Blacks in that final.
Jooby, juicy aromas on the nose. Fairly big and extracted. Medium bodied, lacks depth. The finish showing warmth and spice. Don't get me wrong, it was perfectly drinkable - and do just that, drink rather than pontificate and muse.

That fuzzy bottle image make it look much more Gothic than it actually is
