Savoury, whole bunch derived notes (84%). Peppery, briar, that stemmy goodness.
Delicate, black fruited body, fine grain of tannin. It's persistent in its manner. Perhaps less varietal, in what you might consider typical from a Barossa perspective. Doesn't make it right. Or wrong. It's a second take, perhaps, on the variety. Prettier, for sure, fresh and nimble.
It's lighter on its feet, with 5% new oak (for 9 months), clocking in at sub 13 points of alcohol. For a variety that, typically, is both later ripening and, again typically, allowed to hang a little longer on the Vine, it was still harvested towards the end of March.
It's a fine wine, of that I am in no doubt. 92
