Fresh dark cherry juice with earthy undertones. Wonderfully integrated soft but present tannins giving it a soothing finish. A Bordeaux blend from Hawkes Bay. Brought it home three years ago or so, when one could still travel around the world to places without limitations.

It's smooth. Well refined. While lacking the earthy tones of a Bordeaux it's still a very enjoyable wine.
