Montford Estate Manny Red 2019, Hawkes Bay

I tasted this wine in October 2020 - so it’s great to be able to try it again six months later. Still youth and fresh with aromas and flavours of black currant and olive, blackberry and dark plum. Some toasty barrel spices of clove and baked vanilla add complexity and depth along with a mild tobacco note. Medium+ weight and intensity on the palate with dark fruit flavours that reflect the bouquet. Firm tannins and acidity ensure this wine has a decent foundation and will reward those who cellar this wine till end of 2022. Lengthy finish with a core of fruit, texture and flavour. Best drinking 2022 through 2026+.
