Destiny Bay 'Magna Praemia' 2021, Waiheke Island

Youthful, complex, fruity, myriad varietal scents, slightly lifted, dry stone earth, smoky and toasty oak, bitter and milk chocolate, miso, Bovril and violets. Fantastic on the palate, focused, ripe, cigar and sweet tobacco, chocolate and chilli spice, powdered clove and toasty barrel flavours. An abundance of tannins, long chain and polished, myriad red fruit flavours from Doris plum to blackberry, dark cherry skin and lees spices. There’s a light reductive flinty quality only adds to the complexity. Youthful, fresh, fruity and dry with a lengthy finish. Best drinking from day of purchase through 2040+.
