Elephant Hill Le Phant Rouge Merlot, Malbec, Syrah 2019, Hawkes Bay

An immediately enticing core of dark red fruit aromas - Doris plums and blackberry, some raspberry and milk chocolate then a layer of fine stony soil suggestions. On the palate - fruity, vibrant, salivating and dry. Flavours mirror the bouquet with fine tannins and youthful acid line. A lovely velvety texture coats the palate layering a great mouthfeel and touch of finesse and finishing with flavours of red berries, spice and chocolate. Well made and ready to drink upon day of purchase, I recommend you imbibe with food alongside. Best drinking from 2021 through 2023+
