$80, screwcap, Coonawarra.

There’s an inherent cuddliness to this wine – it’s plush, substantial and awash with soft fruit – but then it also feels fresh and it extends well through the finish as well. It tastes of ripe plums, olives, mint and cedar, and as the wine breathes a gentle musky/creamy character rolls through the wine as well. This wine is more than satisfying; it’s enriching. Its tannin framework is ultra fine-grained and it prosecutes every case that it mounts. 94+ points.
