Decibel Hawke's Bay Giunta Pinot Gris 2022

91 POINTS: Bob Campbell MW (previous vintage score)
15.5/20 POINTS: Jancis Robinson (previous vintage score)

Refined, streamlined fruit notes and an underlying wild complexity. Notes of yellow apples, crisp pears, quince jelly, cool spice, and cinnamon are juxtaposed with hints of yeast autolysis, flint, and jasmine. The entry into the palate is soft but fresh and meets the aromatics with style. The finish is vibrant leaving both a sense of sweetness in the front palate and perk on the finish. Drink now but will age beyond its expectations.

"This smells just like apple-flavoured gummy sweets. Cheerful PG, ripe green-apple fruit with a touch of bitter almond at the back palate to give it some dimension."
- Jancis Robinson (previous vintage review)

"Fruit-focused, off-dry Pinot Gris with pear, ripe apple, quince and root ginger flavours. A creamy-textured wine with an appealingly lengthy finish. Good value at this price."
- Bob Campbell MW (previous vintage review)

Value

Rates with good Zinfandel

Good Value Barbera

This is very good value for money. A Piedmont red under $30! It has good dark fruit, some nice tannins and acid to balance although it would benefit from some more age to smooth it a bit but I liked its feistiness now.

Just right

Drinking really nicely at 5 years and a fair price

Cotes du Rhone.

A lovely well balanced red. One of the best Cotes du Rhone I have tasted.

Real value for money

I was happily surprised by the quality of the labels in the "mystery" case of rose wines - great value for the money I must say. Excellent drinking experience from the unfamiliar labels and happy to enjoy again the familiar ones.
