No Faint Praise

T. P. Ranked Among the Stars

We continue to admire Geoff Kelly’s wine reviews (“independent, analytical, non-commercial”) and recommend his site (geoffkellywinereviews.co.nz). See his review of some 100 top Pinots this year, and note the illustrious company that our wines keep there, and how well they rate against them.

E.g.:

2002 Jadot Chambertin Clos de Beze – 19 (5 stars) 2001 Domaine de la Romanee Conti Echezeauz - 18 ½+ (5 stars) 2003 Escarpment Pinot Noir Kupe - 18 ½ (5 stars) 2003 Two Padocks Pinot Noir The Last Chance - 18 ½ (5 stars) 2002 Jadot Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses -18 (5 stars) 2003 Ata Rangi Pinot Noir - 17 (4 stars) 2003 Palliser Estate Pinot Noir - 16 (3 stars)

We shrug modestly, and draw one’s attention to the pricing therein. Mr Kelly is an admirer of Central Otago, and 2003, we can find no fault with this.
