A very Euro sensibility to this: spice and plums, hoisin and cured meats. A joven juiciness when sipped - uncluttered by oak and tannins in sync. It's a very well-crafted blend. Looking for an oily bowl of chorizo 05 MAR 2020

Cherry and Plum vibes here, feels a touch cooler - with an associated freshness - than McLaren Vale fruit often conveys. The palate is succulent, fresh, yet with a generous rasp of tannin that adds body and conviction. A cracking pairing with food, it's versatile - think beyond pasta (although that's where it worked for me) and pizza - the tannins a match for many proteins. Perhaps even consider traversing the Pyrenees - from Spain, where its component varieties originally hail - and think about something like Cassoulet. Particularly in these immediate cooler months. http://www.thevinsomniac.com/2020/06/hastwell-and-lightfoot-fat-n-skinny-red.html?fbclid=IwAR2f4th2veXeHhvXznzL6ADouEFwI9NdW2UAci-KE8f0KBa4anoPPJPPaFs
