“Hawkes Bay is known for its production of the Bordeaux varietals, and here is a fabulous example of one from an iconic producer. Well-balanced, it has a wonderful silky texture, fine-grained tannins and soft acidity. While the aromas of cherry and red plum are subtle, the flavours are vibrant-cherry and raspberry garnished with spiciness and a hint of toast persisting through the lingering finish. A quality wine at a great price.”
