Monday, January 2, 2017 - Happy New Year 2017 (St Lukes, Auckland): inky, purple hue. dense flavours, plum jam, dark chocolate, some spices, tobacco and smoky notes. rich and lush palate. lingering long.
very "new world", premium quality in this category, even better than wolfblass grey I rekon. however, it needs more acidity, more subtle notes, some turning and changing in glass to be a perfect wine, which you would never like to stop drinking. in the style of this wine, maybe one bottle is enough.
Ap 5/5, Ar 12/15, Palate 17/20, Overall 4+3/10
Total 91/100
