Paritua Red JEROBOAM 5L 2014
$330.00
Hawkes Bay, New Zealand
PREMIUM HAWKE'S BAY RED. GRAND FORMAT.
FIVE STARS | Raymond Chan Wine Reviews
When size matters and quality is non-negotiable, this Jeroboam (5L) of Paritua Red 2014 delivers on every level. Widely regarded as one of the smartest buys in Hawke’s Bay’s premium Bordeaux blend scene, this is a wine that’s as generous in format as it is in flavour.
The 2014 vintage is a beautifully composed blend of 60% merlot, 26% cabernet sauvignon, and 14% cabernet franc. Plush, ripe merlot brings dark berry richness and a supple mouthfeel, while the cabernets contribute structure, spice and cellaring muscle. There’s a lovely hit of mocha and cedar from well-handled oak, all gliding across a silky mid-palate that drives through to a smooth, satisfying finish.
Whether it’s a centrepiece for a special occasion or a once-in-a-lifetime gift for the wine lover who has everything, this Jeroboam is a showstopper.

Tasting Notes
Raymond Chan Wine Reviews writes "Full, deep, near impenetrable black-red colour with garnet hues, a little lighter edged. The nose is full and densely packed unfolding voluminous aromas of very ripe black plum and blackberry fruit, along with subtle notes of blackcurrants and cassis, with an amalgam of herbs and earth and a hint of portiness. This is very concentrated and unfolds layer of ripe fruit detail. Full-bodied, the palate is rich and plush with mouthfilling flavours of sweetly ripe dark-red and black plums, along with blackberries and subtle notes of blackcurrants and cassis. The fruit is enhanced by fine, spicy, cedary oak, and unfolds some earthy complexity. The palate has fine-grained tannin extraction providing plenty of structure with background acidity lending energy and tension. The wine carries to a long, lingering, nuanced finish. This is a full-bodied Merlot blend with very ripe, sweet plum flavours with blackberries and blackcurrants on a well-structured palate."
