95PTS John Gilman

#3 of 65 2023 Pinot Noir from Central Otago - The Real Review

with a stunning perfume of blueberries

with a hint of mid-palate richness which sets it apart

graphite and woodsmoke come spiralling out of the glass

Lake's Folly Cabernets 2011 Blanc de Blancs 95PTS John GilmanAn estate grown 61 18 13 8% blend of cabernet sauvignon, shiraz, petit verdot and merlot. Great terra rossa soil, 50 year old vines, and a top vintage have been putty in the hands of Rodney Kempe. Bright, clear crimson hue; there is a profusion of blackcurrant cassis, black olive, spice and red cherry fruit, French oak seen but not heard, tannins so ultra fine they are heard but not seen.
