Askerne Hawke’s Bay Dessert Cabernet 2015 $22.90 375ml (3.5 stars)
Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown in the sandy soils of their lower terrace, and fortified to 16.5%alc, this is a whopper of a wine. Scented with blackberry, bay leaf, pepper and dark cocoa, then chock full of spice and sweet, dried herb and nutty notes on the palate, it’s a wine with grip and chew on the finish. Sip with a slice of black forest gateaux. Yum.
