With the spice of Shiraz. It smells more of spice than fruit, which I kinda like. Funny, the Cabernet really barely shows through on the nose. 15% a touch of french barrique but apparently has been through one pass.

The '16 vintage was really thin so didn't really hit the US. All from McLaren, 8 sites, stainless steel I am being told. Balance 15% neutral barriques.
With some sweet and spicy Shriaz fruit, and then punctuated by Cab. Not the most harmonious thing, but that could be just me. A little green notes Andrew.

Eucalyptus, cassis, hints of oak. Pepper in the finish. Nice fruit, but the acidity feels a bit unintegrated.
