2004 Black Label Hawkes Bay Merlot Cabernet
Tasting Note
Deep red in colour, this stunning wine delivers the
aromas of chocolate and mocha that fill the nose with a variety of berries and currants intertwined. The flavours are full of berries, plum and subtle French oak, with the palate supplying fine grained tannins that give great length and structure.
A full bodied wine well suited to winter roasts and stews. Will cellar well under good conditions for the medium to long term.
