$25, 5 stars, 92 points, gimblett gravels, Hawkes Bay, new zealand, shiraz, syrah
Deep purple with medium viscosity and slight staining (14% ABV). The nose gives me medium intensity aromas of blueberry, açaí berries, black plum, pepper, vanilla and cardamom. The aromas are very pinpoint. The palate is dry with medium acidity, medium (+) tannins that are very smooth like powder, and a full body. Dark fruit with florals and sweet oak make for a very smooth and delicious palate. The finish is quite long and reveals a core of rich, ripe blueberry wrapped with those powdery tannins- a delicious drop that gets 92 points from me. Drink this $20 wine till 2030. Purchased in the UK, wishing we had it over here in ‘murica cause it’s a 5 star wine. Salut….
