$500, 14.5% alcohol, DIAM cork, McLaren Vale.

This is a significant wine. It’s significant in volume, and in structure, and in quality. It tastes of blackcurrant, saltbush, milk chocolate, peppercorns, bitumen and mint, with hay and cedar characters as highlights. It offers of world of flavour and a long road of tannin, all of which leads to an elongated finish. this is the plushest of wine styles executed to the highest of standards. 96 points.
