Trinity Hill The Gimblett Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot & Cabernet Franc 2017, Gimblett Gravels, Hawkes Bay

Fabulous bouquet of dark berries and crushed rocks, sweet cigar tobacco and plums, purple flowers and vanilla. On the palate - fruity, tannic, spicy and dry. The flavours of dark berries and wood spices, firm textured tannins and baked bell-pepper equal a wine of intensity and promise, a core of fruit and youthful vibrant engaging textures. Each component of this wine is still dating the other. A wine to cellar because it’s not yet integrated enough to gain the greatest pleasure from. If you cannot wait - decant. If you can wait then best drinking 2021 through 2028.
