Destinae Wiaheke Island Red Blend

Just a tad too fruity and sweet. A bit more acid and this would have great, not just very good.

Lots and lots of vanilla oak and dark berries.. Wonderful blend and glad I kept it for a few years before opening.

Lovely winters eve quaffing

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

Smells wonderful, well balance with structure

Good. No tooo intense about anything but that's a good thing.

Sensational

Lovely. Red berry fruit and a touch of blue. Soft tannins and a bit of baking spices.

Dried herb, dark cherry, vege, smoky, tree trunk skin, subtle tannin, good lasting
