Promoted as ‘like going on an energetic dance with a Cuban beauty queen’, this bold, classy red is estate-grown in the Vina del Mar Vineyard at Onetangi and matured in American oak barriques. The 2015 vintage (5*) has dense, inky, purple-flushed colour. A powerful, sturdy wine, it has concentrated, well-ripened blackcurrant and plum flavours, in a structured, age-worthy style, already delicious, but likely to be at its best 2020+.
