Phenomenal NZ Bordeaux style blend. Good French profile but unmistakeable kiwi chacteristics.
N-fine leather, overripe dark forest fruits, trace of forest floor
P-blueberry, red currant, plum, gives way to chocolate. Exceptionally smooth tannins. Very subtle well integrated oak. Good structure from Cab S.
F-long and rich.
Acid still a little high at back - drink dates probably 2019-23 for optimum. Would serve now though.
Mid autumn - winter wine
