Man O' War

Man O' War  Ironclad  Merlot Cabernet Franc Malbec Cabernet Sauvignon Petit Verdot 2012 Waiheke Island

Distinctively and complex with dark spices, toasty wood and dark berries showing black berry and black currant, smoky violets and dark plum. Some tobacco and clove wood spices adding further complexity and intrigue. Dry with mix of flavours starting with savory, dried herb, earth and dried stone. Dark berries, tobacco and plum. Plenty of tannins and acidity. Decent length and complexity. Youthful, food friendly and cellarable. Best from 2020 through 2030.
