Leveret Estate Reserve Merlot Cabernet 2020, Hawkes Bay
Attractive and distinctive bouquet with ripe dark red fruit scents of Doris plums and black berry, violets and sweet vanilla spice. Toasty barrel and moments of wood smoke add complexity and breadth. On the palate - quite delicious with flavours of dark berries and plums, cassis, iron, tobacco, crushed rock earthy qualities, medium+ acidity and firm youthful tannins. Well made with plenty of length and potential. Best drinking from late 2022 through 2028.
