Description

Man O' War Waiheke Island Ironclad 2024The nose is deep and confident: blackcurrant, graphite, dark plum and cassis, layered with cedar, cigar box, bay leaf and a hint of sea spray. Theres a polished, savoury undertow; dried herbs, cocoa and crushed rock, that speaks clearly of both site and restraint. On the palate, the wine is seamless and commanding. Rich, dark fruits roll in first; blackberry, damson plum and black cherry, framed by fine, maritime tannins and a cool, mineral spine.

The nose is deep and confident: blackcurrant, graphite, dark plum and cassis, layered with cedar, cigar box, bay leaf and a hint of sea spray. There’s a polished, savoury undertow; dried herbs, cocoa and crushed rock, that speaks clearly of both site and restraint. On the palate, the wine is seamless and commanding. Rich, dark fruits roll in first; blackberry, damson plum and black cherry, framed by fine, maritime tannins and a cool, mineral spine. Nothing sticks out. Nothing rushes. It’s all poise, balance and quiet authority. Oak adds structure rather than sweetness, lending notes of spice, toasted cedar and dark chocolate, while the acidity keeps the wine lifted and precise. The finish is long, dry and confident, fading out in layers of cassis, graphite and saline freshness. This is not a blockbuster it’s a battleship; powerful, composed and built to travel a long way. From a rare, small-yield vintage that delivered clarity, depth and longevity, Ironclad 2024 is what happens when everything locks into place. A wine that will drink beautifully young but will truly shine a decade from now.

Some seasons feel like a negotiation, 2024 felt like a handshake, delivering everything Bordeaux-inspired reds aspire to: balance, concentration and finesse. From budburst to harvest, Waiheke Island enjoyed a near-textbook run of warm days, cool nights and just enough stress to keep the vines honest. Yields were naturally low, berries small and intensely flavoured – producing some of our finest wines to date.

Fruit was hand-harvested from our dry-grown vineyards in steep, sheltered valleys, protected from the Pacific’s cooling influence. Each parcel was fermented separately with native yeasts in open-top fermenters over a 30-day vat period, allowing site character to shine. Following fermentation, the wines were matured individually in 500-litre French oak puncheons, undergoing natural malolactic fermentation and resting on gross lees for 18 months to build texture and depth. After extensive tasting and blending trials, the final blend was returned to oak for a further six months to harmonise structure and complexity before bottling.

Good Tissot Watch
Color: Grey
Arrived on time, in its original box, include a 2 year international warranty, into the box include a book with the Tissot brand history in Switzerland. Algo a second book with a whole catalog of Tissot watches men and women. The watch looks better when you put in on your wrist. The “naval” blue really gives the clock a classy look. The stainless steel workmanship is really good, the metal is bright and perfectly polished. The metal wristband quality is very good, did not have any problem to adjust the size , I went to my preferred clock workshop for this job, they extracted a few pieces of the band to fit to my small wrist size. Have to get used to the butterfly latch, but after a few days, now I learned to open and close it without any effort. The clock it’s very accurate, I’ve been using my Tissot for near a month and it just increased a few seconds per week. I do the setup and check accuracy with my pc clock. In short, It”s a good value watch, nice, good looking, accurate.

Buitfiful watch
Color: Blue Face/Silver Strap
Buitfiful watch with a good weight. The size adjuster only really works though if you unscrew it completely and just push the pins out with that. But other than that it's a buitfiful watch.
