Matariki Quintology 2000

Hawkes Bay, North Island, New ZealandA blend of 33/26/24/10/7 cabernet sauvignon / merlot / cabernet franc / syrah/ malbec. Expect an open, plummy, blackberry fruit nose with some vanilla. Lively red fruit flavours on entry with elevated acidity and taut structure. The flavours are smoke and tobacco with just a touch of orange rind. It's elegant on the palate but slightly dry in the finish.Tasted: 04 May 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
