Inky ruby. Ripe boysenberry and creme de cassis on the nose, plus a pungent yellow rose quality. The lush, creamy dark berry flavors veer toward inky but are lifted by bright mineral and floral pastille notes. Exotic spices arrive on the finish, which is seductively sweet yet precise. There's lots going on here.

Rating for Australia-South Australia-Adelaide-Barossa: 96 (excellent)<br/><br/>Drinkability: too young, let it sit<br/>
