Wine tasting notes
The nose reveals an enticing array of musk, red cherry, plums, vanilla bean and roasted nuts with a herbaceous lift. Integrated cinnamon and nutmeg aromas derived from barrels used in fermentation adds to the wine’s complexity. A fruit driven mid palate is laden with red cherry, plums and mulberries, complemented by hints of vanilla and toasty oak. The wine has a long, textural finish due to the Cabernets firm and youthful grape tannin framed with balanced and elegant oak tannin. A great drinking wine of complexity and substance.
Expert reviews
Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, likewise gold medals from China, Germany and Belgium. An unusual blend, especially for McLaren Vale; it is more savoury than most reds of the region, and has elegance and length. V Published 02 August 2016
