Elephant Hill Salome 2023

Hawke's Bay, New Zealand

5+ stars / 95pts 

Flinty, smoky notes, toasted hazelnuts, vanilla pod, and roasted seeds lead into buttery, warm peach, baked apple pie, brown sugar, and caramel, with saline wisps of oyster shell. The palate is taut, layered and finely textured, silken with golden citrus, ripe stone fruit and chalky minerality, finishing on a lingering spicy bite with a vanilla lift. Precise, ripe lemon sorbet acidity drives through the creamy palate to a floral, lightly spiced, fruit-laden finish. Elegant, powerful and age-worthy – Hawke’s Bay at its best. Enjoy now – 2035.
