Askerne Merlot Malbec Cabernet 2020, Hawke's Bay

An enticing bouquet of ripe red berry fruits, plums and chocolate. Plenty of weight and intensity on the palate, a dry wine with firm tannins and medium+ acid line. Flavours of boysenberry and Doris plum, some black berry and summer berry pudding flavours. Firmish, new and ripe tannins add mouthfeel and texture to a ripe fruited core. The chocolate suggestion continues adding to a taut yet vibrant finish. Well made, youthful and needing some development time. Best drinking from 2024 through 2029+.
