Julicher Wines 2008 Pinot Noir

I have been a fan of Julicher (pronounced ‘U – li – ker’) pinot for a number of years and this wine has just been won trophies for Best Pinot Noir and Champion Wine of the Show at the 2009 Air New Zealand Wine Awards. The judges commented “The stunningly perfumed bouquet shows ripe cherry and spicy oak characters. It's luxuriously textured and seamless on the palate.” How could I disagree – a stunning wine.
