Purple Hands Oenotri Montepulciano 2024
AU$100, 14% alcohol, DIAM cork, Barossa Valley.

This wine always puts on a show and always does so with integrity. It’s a firm, tannic, almost grainy wine with plush fruit, rusty tannin, a distinct dryness and myriad herb-spice complexities. Every time you sip, you discover something more. The fruit here is fresh and attractive but both structurally and for savoury inputs it’s compelling.

94 points – Campbell Mattinson.
