Blackberry and plum aromas, wonderfully complex palate, with violets, liquorice, cloves and more fruit. Despite this complexity it tasted a little thin with a few drying tannins and a shortish finish.

This is a rising star! Gimblett Gravels is indeed fantastic! Feels like a top notch Western Australian Bordeaux Blend! Perfect balance of Cab and Merlot with impressive blackberries all along. Some cinnamon too. As usual the vines are probably a little bit young thus there isnt too much depth. However it is already impressive given the price. I would seriously pay attention to this wine starting from 2013 while the vines are older. A easy 90+ for present vintages I suspect.

Paper note taken, will update later. Good quality and very good value though.
