Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

95 points Halliday Wine Companion
A 63/26/13% blend, destemmed and crushed, open-fermented with pumpovers, 7-11 days on skins, matured for 9 months in American and French oak (10% new). Top gold Adelaide and top gold Rutherglen wine shows '16, the value verging on the absurd. With black fruits in the ascendant, impressive tannin structure and flavour complexity. Licorice and bramble also appear on the finish and aftertaste.
