$80, 14.6% alcohol, screwcap, McLaren Vale

This wine, tasted in December 2024, is just about to turn nine years old. It’s now fully mature but at the same time, it still has quite a deal of life left in it. It tastes of chocolate, blackberry, leather and saltbush, and while age has lightened things off a little, it still feels soft, creamy and satisfying. Indeed it still has a brighter, more raspberried note running through the core of flavour here, which helps to keep things lively. If you’re looking for a mature wine to drink, this wine fits the bill. 91 points.
