Paritua Red 2019 (Hawke’s Bay)
Deeply coloured with a dash of tawny at the rim. Cassis, blackcurrant leaf, some tomato leaf and plums abound on the nose. Superb purity of fruit is immediately evident on the full-bodied palate as is the well-managed oak. Juicy yet focussed with well-handled tannins and a satisfying finish.
