Very deep, dense, youthful red/purple colour, the bouquet smacking of concentrated plum essence, very bold, ripe and dense. Touches of graphite, earth and spice. The tannins are firm and abundant, adding structure for long aging. A very big, concentrated, essency kind of McLaren Vale shiraz, which really needs more time before broaching.07 JAN 2017 Drink 2020–2039
