  Deep garnet color, cloudy and those initial orange rim hues that I keep getting on these Aussie reds. Long long legs, clinging to the bowl, downwards at a turtle's pace. Attracted be and powerful nose, warmer climate evident on the nose with all kinds of dark berries, cherry and plum, some kind of lavender or other flower, (tabac?) but none of the oak or earth you might get from TN's place of birth. Got some heat as well. Palate medium-bodied, medium-plus acidity, nibbly tannins, medium alchohol, long finish, slight aftertaste. Fruit less apparent, tangier and more leathery than nose. Interesting interpretation of this varietal.

  Ett väldigt lättförståeligt vin. Härlig tillgänglig frukt, australiensisk generositet kombinerat med en pigg syra. Väldigt snygg balans och struktur, kan säkert upplevas för sötfruktig av "riktiga" eurofiler men som soffmys framför brasan sitter det som en smäck.

  Like most of this fantastic range this is incredibly elegant, European-style wine. Great acidity and complexity. This is what the Barossa can do.
