Blended Red from Australia - South Australia
Review Date : 03-Dec-2024
Full, deep ruby-red with a garnet-purple hue, even colour throughout. The nose is full and opulent, with aromas of black plum, blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, mint and star anise. Full-bodied, aromas of black plum, blackcurrant and blackberry are fresh, enriched by cedar, mint, star anise and cocoa. The rich mouthfeel is packed with finely woven tannins, leaving a sandy texture. The concentration of fruit and oak spices contributes to complexity. This is a bold, rich red blend with power and balanced fruit and oak details. Match with ribeye steak and beef short bibs over the next 8 years. 55% Barossa Shiraz, 45% Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon, fermented to 14.5% alc, aged 10 months in 14% new French and Hungarian oak hogsheads. 18.5/20 pts (93 pts) Dec 2024 RRP $26
