Interesting to try a bottle of the slightly culty Kusuda Pinot Noir 2020 at home. It's not bad, not too overdone, but the fruit is a bit cherryish and I would want a little more complexity and length. I am not sure how it will turn out with age, and I wonder if I would be equally or more happy with, say, an equivalent Ata Rangi PN, that is more readily obtainable. Anyway for me, a curious diversion .. but I’d rather stick to a well-chosen Burgundy at this price level.

I’ve been working my way through some single bottles of Prager 2021’s and it is a fine range. The Zwerithaler Kammergut Gruner is the richest I’ve tried, and really quite exotic at this stage. Ideally, a little less of everything might be a good thing (14% btw). But it’s a compelling wine nonetheless.
