Last bottle. Very enjoyable for a mid week wine when a recipe calls for a red. Nothing spectacular but in no way dissappointing - I think this is what is is made to be

{screwcap, 14.5%, A$14} Deep garnet. Astonshingly lifted nose of sweet strawberry jam and milk chocolate. Seems to promise the ultimate fruit-bomb. The palate does have a drying quality to it, but there's still overtly ripe stewed fruits, with not a little coarseness about them. Ultimately the palate is rather confected; the more you drink the more you wonder about residual sugar. It has some presence on the front and mid-palate, but the finish becomes a bitter sweet/sour remnant of rather highly-cropped fruits that lack true depth or richness. Best with a barbeque or crudely-flavoured foods. And soon too; even the label admits it to be an early drinker.
