LVCA Ludwig Vanneron Petit Frere 2019, Hawkes Bay

A pure fruited bouquet led by aromas of dark cherry and doris plums, black berry and dark spices of toasty oak. Clove and vanilla, cassis and violets then stony soil scents. Complex and captivating. Fantastic on the palate with a deep concentration of flavours. Fruit and oak are already harmonious, but the core of this wine is its youthful energy and power along with firm tannins and acidity requesting cellar time to find solace and harmony. Great length with a promised future if cellar properly. Best drinking from 2025 through 2035+. I suggest you reserve an allocation.
