Description

Clearview Estate Enigma Merlot, Malbec & Cabernet Franc 2016 Hawkes Bay

Complex, fruit and floral scented bouquet with a bold oak statement, youthful power and intensity. Equally rich and intense on the palate with flavours of olive and dark berries, dark plum and black cherry. Big tannins and plenty of acidity, a core of fruit and toasty spicy wood shows off a wine with complexity, intensity and lengthy persistent finish. Very well-made. Drink from 2021 through 2030.
