Wild Estate 'W' Red Blend 2019, Waiheke Island, Auckland

A wine with a bouquet of place and time - aromas of violets and barrel spices of oak, dark berries and roasted plums. Complex and youthful. On the palate - flavours of blackberries and dark chocolate, anise and vanilla, toasted barrel with a touch of tobacco and smoke, violets and plums and gravel stone soils. An abundance of firm tannins and medium+ acid line. A firm, taut and youthful mouthfeel allows this wine the benefit of cellartime. A lovely long finish with best drinking from 2025 through 2040+.
