Description
Rated a HUGE 4.6 out of 5 by 103 delighted customers – it requires a majority of 5/5 reviews to achieve such a high average. Obsidian wines are largely sold in restaurants, fine wine merchants and through their Waiheke Island vineyard Cellar Door. In the current economic climate sales are… and have been depressed for a long time. Fine Wine Delivery were appointed by Obsidian to help CLEAR the surplus stocks built up in their Cellars! This Vitreous Merlot Cabernet blend is the “Final” offering (Circa 12 wines) of top-shelf quality Obsidian wines we have exclusively CLEARED on their behalf… everyone a “Sell Out”. A Winery CLEARANCE of this size & unquestionable quality at such Staggering prices… is a once in 28-year Event – we’ve never witnessed it industry wide in that time. It’s been a treasure for our customers and a privilege to be appointed to do this. This 2020 Obsidian Vitreous is one of the finest of many wonderful offers. It’s from the fabulous 2020 vintage… there is more to go around our customers… and it is now sensationally affordable Premium Waiheke Island red wine drinking. It’s crafted with 100% handpicked, low yield Estate fruit off their steeply sloping, free draining vineyards and aged in fine French oak. Plush fruit with cassis, plum, coffee, and tobacco leaf and a delightful array of red and dark berries, including crunchy cranberries… it finishes with an elegant Bordeaux like coolness. Drinking superbly at 4-years of age, it will peak around 2028 and hold through 2031. Delightful to share with family & friends – great for BBQs… perfect for functions & gifts.
Smells
Brooding aromas of mocha, ripe blackberries, blackcurrants, graphite, cedar, cinnamon, roast spice, toast & vanilla.
Tastes
The palate is plush with classical Right Bank Bordeaux flavours of cassis, plum, coffee, dried tobacco leaf, plus a delightful array of red and dark berries, including crunchy cranberries. Fine texture and tannin, it has excellent depth with a cool elegance on the finish. Classic New & Old-World traits and savoury complexity emerging with age. Perfect with a wide variety of meats and savoury dishes… and age worthy through 2030.
We taste, rate & guarantee every wine we sell.
