Monday, July 13, 2015 - Appearance: Bright and clear, it has deep purple color, with fading rims and legs.
Nose: Clean, with medium (+) intensity aromas of red fruit such as strawberry and ripe cherries, black fruit of plum and bilberry, oak notes of vanilla, kernel notes of chocolate, herbal notes of mint, sweet spice of clove. The wine is youthful.
Palate: Dry with medium acidity, the wine has medium (+) tannin of ripe and velvety texture, showing high alcohol and full body. It has medium (+) flavors of red fruit such as ripe cherries, black fruit of blackberry and plum, pungent spice of aniseed, kernel notes of chocolate, oak notes of vanilla. The wine has a medium finish.
Conclusion: Very good quality Australia red with a good intensity, showing nice complexity on the nose and with a balanced and elegant structure, the wine has good velvety tannin, plenty of ripe fruit and a concentrated palate of fairly complex characters, ending with a reasonable length. It is ready to drink now though can benefit from further ageing of another 3-5 years.
