The colour was deep, quite opaque ruby red. The bouquet had plum fruit, earthy chocolate and mint. There was full ripe plum fruit, savoury flavours, and a dry oak finish. This wine had quite complex, smooth well integrated flavours. Awards: NW Wine Awards 2018 Gold, NZ International Wine Show Gold.
Note 1: I am not really a wine expert (just an enthusiastic amateur), so please don't take my recommendations as anything more than a rough guide to these wines. I can take no responsibility if you buy a lot of this particular wine, on my recommendation, and then regret it!
Note 2: You may not fully agree with my evaluation of these wines, as a lot of this is quite subjective. I tend to put a lot of emphasis on complexity and intense characteristic and varietal flavours and bouquet, so if you disagree you might just have different priorities.
