Colour: Dense red, with a dark core
Nose: The unravelling begins – immediately laden with black olive and cigar-leaf cabernet appeasements. Then allowing the florals to soar – violet, lavender and baby’s breath. Accompanied by bursts of sea spray (41% McLaren Vale?) and formic (hint of barrel ferment?), iodine/haemoglobin. Beneath the elution throughout – roasted meats in tandem with cinnamon bar/Dijon mustard seed.
Palate : Certainly the sum of its parts…
McLaren Vale: front palate plushness, and sea spray.
Coonawarra: terra rossa red-dustiness, earth.
Barossa Valley: a solid core, and a drive that stridently lunges to the back-palate.
A mid-palate richness with layers of discrete regional cabernet tannins …In every sense, ‘well-connected’.
