Really nice wine from an underrated vintage. Tight, juicy, ripe red and black berries, some black pepper and baking spices and a focussed tannin and acid structure. Should keep improving for some time to come.

Very smooth, hint of spice on the end. Dry. Good finish. BFC dinner.

65% Shiraz 20% Grenache and 15% Mataro (Mourvèdre) Spicy and elegant wine with notes of underripe sour raspberry, pomegranate, plum, Asian spices, and white pepper. I loved this wine and took a bottle home after the tasting👌
