Man O’ War, Ironclad, Bordeaux Blend 2021, Waiheke Island

Man O’ War, Ironclad, Bordeaux Blend

A delicious wine from start to finish, the bouquet is filled with scents of dark berries and smoky oak, graphite and toasty wood, chocolate and blueberries, violets and plums, blackberry and dark olive, leather and five spice. Firm and dry with a backbone of acidity and tannins, the core of flavours is a juxtaposition of mouthfeel, texture, and fruit concentration. Well-made, complex, and lengthy. Best drinking from 2026 through 2036.
