Bright ruby. Blackberry, bitter chocolate, cracked pepper, eucalyptus and a whiff of game on the complex nose. Fat, sweet and dense, with concentrated blackberry, dark chocolate and mint flavors. From small berries, and it shows in the wine intensity. Finishes with dusty, even, tongue-coating tannins and notes of mint, spicy oak and blackberry. Quite young and unevolved.

Rating for Australia-South Australia-Adelaide-Fleurieu-McLaren Vale: 95 (good year)<br/><br/>Drinkability: young, aging quickly, could be good now<br/>
