Clearview The Basket Press Red Blend 2016, Hawkes Bay

Untitled_design_28_600x.png

Very attractive bouquet with intense aromas of fleshy, ripe and dark skinned red fruits - blackcurrant and black cherry, Doris plum then violets, sweet oak, clove, tobacco, gun smoke and hot stones. On the palate - full-bodied, weighty, rich, very complex and dry. Ripe, firm, chalky resolved tannins, medium+ acidity. There’s no mistaking the impact of ripeness and oak, flavour and tease of texture. Loaded with intrigue and power. In short - I love this wine. Decant for service with best drinking from 2022 through 2032.
