This was sensational. Deep fruit, silky feel, fine tannins. Yet retains the intense terroir of McLarenvale. Finish lasts forever. In my cellar since release. So glad there is one more left.

We were introduced to these wines when we met the winemaker in Portugal. Took some effort to get them to the US but the winery was hugely helpful. Luscious dark fruit. Sweet new oak. I think it could benefit from a few years to integrate the oak. A crowd pleaser.

Tertiary properties. Hazelnut, shiso. Interesting in an old Chardonnay kind of way.
