"Anytime you see 2021 on a label for a red from McLaren Vale, your eyes should really light up. I can’t get enough of these wines and you should really be stocking plenty away. This is a deep blood red hue, with a nose exhibiting black fruits, chocolate, charred roast meats, a hint of tomato bush, spices, bay leaves and a core of sweet cherries when we move to the palate, through to hints of almond bitterness on the finish. There is still a little oak in evidence, but integration is proceeding well. There is good acidity, fine tannins and decent length here. The next six to eight years will see it drinking beautifully." - Ken Gargett
