Elephant Hill Hieronymus 2018, Hawkes Bay

Incredible perfume and concentration with aromas of dark berries and spice, smoked vanilla, clove and all-spice with sweet new wood scents and a core of sun baked stones. As the wine touches the palate a flavour explosion unfolds with a deep core of fruit, ripeness and concentration. Black currant and black berry, cassis and preserved plums, there’s a dark violet and boot-polish inky quality then flavours of baked bell-pepper and tobacco. Firm, ripe tannins and plenty of acidity along with a warming alcohol provide foundation and framing for this excellent expression. Best drinking from 2028 through 2038+.
