SOHO Reserve JC 2020, Waiheke Island, Auckland

This Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot blend showcases aromas of baked plum and dark berry flesh, moments of chocolate and anise, smoky wood and black currant with a new wood and earthy dry clay quality. Firm textures touch the palate first - tannins and acidity along with wood highlights set the foundation then a concentrated core of dark berry fruit flavours, dark spices with aise nd clove then vanilla and violets. A new leather notes adds further complexity and depth. Great drinking from 2024 through 2034+.
