This wine, from the bottom of the North Island, starts off on the reductive side. It opens somewhat after time in the glass but remains a bit of a broody beast. Aromas of soy sauce, meat and damp earth mingle with ripe red cherry. The fruit on the palate is a little syrupy, and the tannins are astringent and woody, but give this some time and it should knit together better. Drink 2020–2027.
