Elephant Hill Hieronymus 2019, Gimblett Gravels, Hawkes Bay

Very complex, youthful and desirable bouquet. Aromas of violets, dark plum and blackberry, sweet chocolate cigar, brown sugar and dark spices, baked nut and a clay stone earthy quality. Fantastic mouthfeel and texture with tannins, acidity and toasty barrel flavours contrasted by a powerful core of fruit reflecting the bouquet, moments of dark chocolate, clove and brazil nut. very expressive and complex, there’s no mistaking the oak component, but this well placed against the core of fruit. Best drinking from 2023 through 2035+.
