Gibbston Valley Winery Visit (Gibbston Valley Winery, Central Otago, New Zealand): Medium transparent red purple. Lovely typical warm ripe black cherries nose. Still a lot of wood. Touch of violets in the background. Palate is immediate coffee and toffee and caramel, light in mouthfeel but totally mouthcoating and warmly welcoming. Not heavy. Great depth and restraint. Needs a lot of time as still very reticent. Leave it for 5 years.
