A blend of 68% shiraz, 22% grenache and 10% mataro, this is definitely lead by shiraz with a very rich, brambly array of ripe red plums, blackberries and raspberries and some blue-fruit tones. The oak is dialed right back in the mix and the raspberry and redder-fruit flavor sails forward in a veryplush and velvety texture. Bright red fruit holds the entire palate, while darker tones work away in the engine room. A great Bin 138. Drink or hold.94 points.

Lovely, ripe, succulent dark fruit is centre stage. Tantalizingly tangy with bright, freshening acidity and highlighting regional notes of licorice, chocolate and smoked smallgoods. Superfine tannins provide the silky texture, and oak hardly plays a role in this delicious and generously fruited classic blend.
