Alpha Domus AD The Aviator 2009 $57 

Glossy, magenta flecked with crimson it has exotic plum blossom, blackberry and cocoa aromas and one sip shows beautiful, multilayered texture in the mouth.  Excellent fruit concentration, and the 37% cabernet sauvignon component is robust and ripe providing a solid backbone for the merlot, malbec and franc.  It is warming, velvety and long on flavour; it has personality, character and weight that’ll carry it through decades to come.  Buy now or forever kick yourself.  www.alphadomus.co.nz
