Is 21-12 a good wine?
Tasting profile
A bold, full-bodied red with strong, structured tannins and a long finish, showing black fruits like blackcurrant and plum alongside sweet cherry, vanilla, and chocolate. The nose adds tobacco, cigar box, licorice, and spice, making for a complex, age-worthy wine that's already drinking beautifully.
Synthesized from 122Vivino reviewers' tasting notes for this bottle.
What reviewers say
“A flavour bomb now at its very best. Huge nose redolent of blackcurrant. Extremely soft for such a huge wine. Drunk alongside a 2007 389. This was bigger! Possibly my favourite NZ red”
