Clos Henri, Bel Echo Pinot Noir, Marlborough

Lovely fruit and spices on the nose and palate with a nice long finish. Well balanced.

Rich ripe cherry fruit, young but balancing out nicely

Fair acidity, and warm barnyard on nose. Slightly elevated alcohol level not unduly distracting. Drink cool and after a few hours open

Dark garnet color. This wine came across as a cool climate Pinot from a really hot year. Dark fruit dominated with a lot of oak. Too much for my tastes - it really masks the fruit. The oak seems to be high quality, but just over the top. Probably wouldn't buy this wine again as it lacks any real PN typicity and my tastes lean towards cooler climate, higher acidity vegetal PN.

A NZ PN from a French producer. There are three Pinot Noirs in the Clos Henri range: the flagship wine, Clos Henri, is made from grapes grown on clay that keeps the grapes cool, creating wines of more restrained style and elegance. This Bel Echo is made from grapes grown on dry, warmer rocky soil, creating more supple wines of fruit-forward character. The third wine, Petit Clos, is made from grapes sourced from both of these terroirs that didn't make …

Rather elegant and supple nose with red berries, some sweet cherries, cinnamon and nicely integrated oak. But it lacks depth and complexity. Medium body, balanced palate with fresh acidity. A little bit sweet fruit and some fieriness to it. But balanced oak character without disturbing bitterness. Strawberry, cinnamon and ginger. A balanced example of fine NZ Pinot, but lacking depth.

Le savoir-faire de Henri Bourgeois se retrouve dans ce vin bien fruité de Nouvelle-Zélande. Aromes puissants de cerise et de framboise. Saveur agréable d'épices. Bien structuré, sans excès ni de lourdeur. Vin bien fait à un prix affordable.

Doft: Röda bär, godis och lite peppar Smak: Röda bär, peppar, och bra syra, men ett lite splittrat intryck.

Doft: bubbelgum, jordgubbar, vitpeppar Smak: röda bär, peppar och en frisk, pådrivande men integrerad syra.

A fresh quite low aroma of red berries quite a bit of strawberries. Has some really nice complexity to it.
