Puriri Hills reserve, Vintage 2009
THE REVIEWS
93 Points “Puriri Hills is truly different from New Zealand producers, releasing its wines five to eight years after the vintage. The newly launched vintages are ready to drink upon release like this Reserve (renamed Harmonie du Noir from the 2012 vintage). It is savoury, with hints of tobacco, pencil lead and herbal tones and offers up an elegant and fresh expression with a dry, savoury conclusion; fine tea-leaf-like tannis coat the palate..” – Rebecca Gibb MW
“A big jump in quality on the Estate label from this vintage with greater concentration, more pronounced fruit flavour and a richer texture. Stylish wine with berry, cherry, plum, spice and floral/violet flavours. Moderately complex wine that delivers power with consummate subtlety.” Bob Campbell MW
