June 23, 2021 - Tasted this wine at the Online Wine Dinner with Burnt Ends organised by Wine Exchange Asia tonight.
Bright red fruits, with strawberries and watermelon. Light in structure and lacks weight. -

June 21, 2021 - Very pretty. Amazing to think this comes from a warm climate Barossa Valley.
Confectionery, crystalline red fruits, but not sweet. Personally I don’t like these flavours. But that’s just me.
14.5%, screwcap. -

Overall super drinkability , very amount of interest , a bit of heat on the finish and I just checked the botttle and it’s 14.5% which explains it. Good wine happy to buy again and also try it with a few years in the bottle 10/111 person found this helpful Comment -

April 22, 2021 - Head Wines Zoom tasting. Drank in Gabriel Standart.
Appearance is clear, medium intensity, purplish ruby colour. Legs.
Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of red berries, boysenberries, blackberry, kirsch, licorice. Developing.
On the palate, dry, high acidity, high alcohol (14.5%), medium+ tannins, full body. Pronounced flavour intensity, with flavours of fruity red berries, boysenberries, blackberries, kirsch, licorice. Medium+ finish.
Very good quality. Fruity good concentration and very drinkable. May need a bit more age to show greater complexity beyond fruitiness.
