Canoehead Likes this wine: 90 points
December 4, 2018 - Typically, this is the Fairview red one consumes while waiting for Bill’s other reds to “come around”. This Madcap however is much more substantial than previous vintages. Higher alcohol (15.5) is balanced against ripe dark fruit and generous fine tannins. Good acidity keeps the palate refreshed. Well done for a weeknight red.

Holly really likes it and she is fussy
Nikolai says not overly complex
1 or 2 distinct flavours wood and plum
