Puriri Hills Harmonie Du Soir 2019

Commercial Description:

Puriri Hills Harmonie Du Soir (previously Reserve) is a designated Regional
Super Classic that builds its reputation on being elegant, delicious, and
consistently age worthy. Puriri Hills wines are released five to eight years after
vintage to ensure that newly launched wines are ready to drink upon release.

Tasting Note: Another generous growing season has resulted in a Harmonie du Soir release that impressively treads the line between power and restraint. After some time in the decanter, this young wine begins to reveal its incredible perfume of vibrant red fruits and exotic spices. Its silky-smooth and immensely chewy on the palate, red fruits again matched with spice and a savoury herbal component, which pulsates through to a resounding, lengthy finish. One of the best wines ever to come out of this tiny property, to be cellared with confidence for at least 15 years.

Review – “Elegant and complex red with a mix of red fruits, floral, spice and subtle nutty oak together with a hint of fresh herbs. Finely-structured with peppery tannins. A supple wine that is successfully modelled after Right Bank Bordeaux. It will age well” – 97 Points, Bob Campbell ONZM MW
