"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."
