2014 John Duval Plexus Shiraz Grenache Mourvedre, Barossa Valley
A$39.90
James Halliday - Published on 06 Oct 2016
A 47/32/21% blend drawn from old vineyards in a number of districts, Krondorf the one constant, fermented with submerged cap (header boards), matured in French hogsheads (10% new). As is appropriate, complex, but largely fruit-driven, with red cherries/berries and plums to the fore, oak and (particularly) tannins taking a back seat.

A full-bodied and luscious blend of shiraz, grenache and mourvèdre that has rounded edges as well as commendable depth and presence. Blackberry, chocolate and currants, a little spice and oak, plus soft ripe tannins. A complete wine and representing outstanding value 17 SEP 2016
