Robe bourgogne foncé. Vin très costaud avec un goût d’alcool prononcé. Sur les fruits confits. Typique des vins d’Australie ultra concentrée avec du raisin trop mure. Pour une premiere fois, un vin de la maison d'Arenberg qui me déçoit.

{screwcap, 14.5%} Somewhat developed generic black fruit flavours; a touch of raisins, some raspberry, not a lot of oak. Palate is warm, diffuse, a touch hollow, rather anonymous, but avoids the bilgey character I was expecting from the vintage. Some Adelaide Hills fruit in addition to the default McLaren Vale. Lowish dusty tannins, medium acid. Medium/full-bodied, but short in finish, and rather warm. Not a cellaring wine by any means.

Thick and juicy. Plenty of fruit, but structured. Will leave the next bottle another year I think.
