Tantalus Écluse Reserve 2017, Waiheke Island
A classic red blend bouquet of dried red berries and fresh, leather and baking spices, there’s an iron filings and tobacco combination, clay and stone earthy suggestions. A dry wine touches the palate first then textures from tannins and acidity, baking spices and dried leaves follow. A firm yet dry wine an elegant side, a muscular side, dried herbs and a savoury side. There’s a completeness from quality fruit and winemaking leading to a taut lengthy finish. Well made and ready to drink from 2022 through 2030.
