"There will always be discussion about which of the Tyrrell’s reds people like best, and that’s fine. That’s the way it is. We all have our own little circuits that fire in different ways. All I will say, though, is that 4A is easily the wine of the vintage. Full. Stop. Creamy, ripe berries, biscuits and spice, fleshy fruit of fair depth and boysenberry juiciness, a sprinkle of dried herb, fine chalky tannin, and a solid and satisfying finish. Come as you are."

Deep, bright, youthful purple/red hue, the aroma sweetly blackberry-ish and showing a glimpse of cabernet even though it's only about 10% of the blend. The wine is elegantly styled, supple in tannins and displays beautiful poise. Hints of mulberry throughout, the fruit quite concentrated and essency in the mouth, with some alcohol warmth at the end. It's been aged in barriques but oak is nigh invisible. A bright, almost callow wine with a promising future.
