Leftfield The Hatchling 2019, Hawkes Bay
Immediately enticing aromas of dark berries and toasty oak, cinnamon stick and vanilla, crushed dry stones, blackberry, olive and dark chocolate. Very fruity core on the palate with flavours of dark berries and plums, black cherry, chocolate and dark spices that reflect the bouquet. Moderate level of tannins layer in texture and complexity, plenty of acidity adds youth and crunch. A lengthy finish, balanced, well made and ready to enjoy on its own or with food. Best drinking from late 2021 through 2025+. Excellent value.
