The Hay Paddock Syrah Petit Verdot 2013, Onetangi, Waiheke Island

With several years in bottle this wine has matured nicely - building complexity and detail as it ages as well as holding onto the core attributes of Syrah and mysterious inky aromas of Petit Verdot. Scents of dark berries, pepper and meat then a dry clay and stone-like earthy quality. On the palate - dry with a mix of dried meat, spices and secondary fruit flavours. Firm tannins and medium acidity add texture adding to a lengthy finish. Well made an ready. Best drinking upon purchase and with food from today an through 2023.
