Inky color. Overpowering fruit, but not too sweet. This wine packs a lot into it. Lacks delicacy and elegance, but decent. Solid McLaren Vale character.

Schon deutlich voluminöser als ein Rhone Syrah. Wird mit etwas Luft schlanker. Schmeckt

Seems now to be positioned more as a generic red rather than the assertively MLV of ten years ago. Solid winemaking, limited individual appeal, ticks all the boxes

So well balanced. Bright and inky in the glass. Earthy, fermenting dark fruits and maybe a bit of chocolate on the nose. Very smooth, elegantly and darkly fruity on the whole palate. Tannins are still a little sharp in the finish. Excited to grab a few more to put away.

Violet in color, strong blackberries up front on the nose. Nice but not remarkable.

Blackberry, pepper, warm spice (like nutmeg), firm tannins that mellow with aeration

Pepper, plum, red fruit, and oak nose. Lots of fruit as expected. This actually was more approachable on day two. Medium bodied, with red fruit, bitter chocolate and spice on palate. A bit much early on, but it settles on the back palate. Serves its price point well.
