Usually my favourite wine in the range and one for those in any doubt about the efficacy of blends. A 60/40 blend of Grenache and Shiraz. Essentially a barrel selection of the juiciest and brightest fruit for early drinking, but this will nevertheless cruise through 10 years and plenty more. Expressive, so McLaren Vale with white chocolate, blueberry, sweet red fruits, potpourri and sweet spice. Fleshy, yet still with a serious savoury edge of bay leaf and black olive tapenade. Fulsome and delicious the tannins ever-present in lovely contrast to the rich vibrancy of fruit. Long, cashmere tannins. Waters Wine Co
Dense purple in the glass. Blueberry, white pepper, dark slate and violets on the nose. Enters the palate with an explosion of purple fruits and exotic spices: musk, violets, cola, and anise all meld with aplomb and class whilst sandy tannins bring tension and focus to the flow. Great length and precision. It’s an impressive wine in its youth and will no doubt open further in time. 96 Points, Stuart Knox, The Real Review
