Took this wine to Duke of Marlborough restaurant in Russell, New Zealand. Maybe a bit past it’s prime.

Apr 12th, 2017Nice nose. Notes of saddle leather, and black fruit. On the palate, it's chewy, a little bit jammy, rounded, but with some heat, and bramble in the background. Some tannins and cassis. Lingering mouthfeel.
