Gourmet Traveller Wine (Aug/Sept 2012)

2008 Puriri Hills Pope 98 points. "Dense but not heavy. It defines subtle power. A very seductive red indeed, with wonderful perfume and spicy complexity. Layers of fruit, spice and hints of flowers. Best of all is the wine's rich and seductively smooth texture." Drink now - 2022

2008 Puriri Hills Reserve 95 points. "Intense and still locked in but with great potential. Ripe berry, with spice and savoury characters. Firm, fine tannins restraining flavour but it's still possible to see layering of fruit and savoury flavours while the lengthy finish is easy to appreciate." Drink now - 2021

2008 Puriri Hills Estate 95 points. "Strong sweet berry fruit provides the core with subtle spice and hints of savoury characters. It has the classically rich, dense texture that I find in most Puriri Hills reds with an appealing maraschino cherry finish." Drink now - 2021
