de la terre Reserve Tannat 2018, Hawke's Bay

Excellent colour with a core of dark purple and ruby rim. Aromas of crushed blackberry, dark plum and black currant then contrasting scents of dark chocolate and clay mineral qualities. The combination of time in barrel and lees contact along with the core red fruit scents delivers a seductive complexity. Textured, taut, complex and youthful on the palate. Flavours mirror the bouquet with a foundation core of fruit, bold tannins and acid line. A wine that will happily develop and age nicely in your cellar - or, you could enjoy today with your favourite red meat protein or earthy vegetarian dish. Great drinking from 2025 through 2035.
