The Hunting Lodge Lagrein 2020, Marlborough

Aromas that remind me of dark cherry and baking spice laden red berries, there’s a mix of barrel spice and earthy mineral complexities then a distinctive vanilla top line and a touch of autumn leaves bottle development. Youthful, fresh and intriguing. Very youthful on the palate with some tautness, contrasting core fruit flavours reflect the bouquet along with wood and fruit tannins and a back bone of acidity. Well made with a lengthy finish and best drinking from late 2023 through 2030.
