The refined, very age-worthy 2019 vintage (5*) was estate-grown in Hawke's Bay and matured for 16 months in French oak casks (60 per cent new). Deep and youthful in colour, it has concentrated, ripe blackcurrant, plum and spice flavours, seasoned with nutty oak, impressive complexity and fine, supple tannins. Best drinking 2024+.
