Destiny Bay 'Magna Praemia' 2020, Waiheke Island, Auckland

Opaque core with dark purple hues and bright pink rim. The bouquet is incredible; concentrated and focused led by aromas of dark plums and blackberries, smoky chocolate and sweet toasty wood, violets and olive, sweet tobacco and iron. Taut and dry as the wine touches the palate with a quick change to fruit flavours that mirror the bouquet. Tannins are ripe, in abundance and need time to settle more and integrate. Acidity sets the back bone in place and the flavours of chocolate and violets then red fruit flavours return in waves. An excellent wine that needs your cellar to mature. best drinking from 2028 through 2040+.
