Paritua Twenty One Twelve 2007

Hawkes Bay, North Island, New ZealandSmoky, peppery, tobacco, black cherry, cassis, vanilla, coffee, floral, saddle leather, barnyard aromas. Rich, round, full bodied palate but somewhat tart with grainy tannins. Coffee bean, peppery, cola, tobacco, dried herbs, black olive, green bean, cassis, leather flavours. Again, has finesse and concentration but it's a cooler style with some apparent acidity on the finish. Needs a few years to integrate or try with barbecue beef.Tasted: 11 April 2010Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
