Ironclad Waiheke Island Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

Ironclad 10: quote a lot of red fruits, plummy, cherry, sous Bois, autumnal notes, leather. Quite juicy, very elegant, good acids, plum, cherry, and only a smudge of mineral, gravel, oak cedAr finish

Spicy bramble fruits leaning more towards blackberry. There is a great mix of blackcurrant pastel and sweet meats and a touch of iron ore. Palate is more about structure than fruit which is dark and quite austere, strong mineral finish.

Thank you Sarah

Cigar box, blackberry, tight core of black fruit and firm tannin. Cool climate elegance. Delicious.

Vegetale, slightly rough on the tongue

Big, ripe Bordeaux blend with Cab Franc dominant. Nose still closed, could do with a little more structure, improved over three days.

Brilliant!

Beautiful cab notes

This has a fine structure for a Bordeaux blend with a touch of Malbec. Plenty of bold flavours- blackberry, currants and light new leather. Touch of alcohol on finish. Would like to see this with some age
