This is gorgeously ripe and perfumed on the nose showing dark and purple fruit richness together with violet, cedar, clove and cocoa notes. The palate is equally satisfying with excellent concentration and fleshy mouthfeel, making it delicious and highly enjoyable. At its best: now to 2033. AU$45.00. www.looniewineco.com. Aug 2020.

Deep, dense red/purple colour with a big, rich, chocolate and ripe plum aroma, tinged with the faintest traces of herbs and underbrush. The wine is full-bodied and soft, fleshy and high in softly drying tannins. Just enough acidity to keep it refreshing on the finish.
