The 2007 Te Kahu Proprietary Red a Bordeaux blend matured in new French barriques has a deep dark chocolate-scented nose with dark cherry Doris plum cedar and a touch of freshly rolled tobacco. Good definition. The palate is full-bodied with firm tannins great depth a little furry at the moment with mouth-coating black fruits. Smooth and focused primal and sensuous on the finish with a slight bitter cherry edge. Broody but it draws you in.
