A combination of grapes sourced from vineyards planted in 1969 and 1973 on the Chalk Hill vineyard in McLaren Vale.
Colour: Dark blood red.
Nose: seems a fraction tight with some faint minty medicinal flavours. Some sweetness lurking.
Palate: medium bodied, smooth and very comfortable mouthfeel. Not simple ro overblown, balanced with persistent fruit. perhaps the benefits of age at 6 years. Some nice tar and licoricenotes but these are quite subtle, more about mouthfeel, balance and great length with some spice. Still well backed with acid and tannin. Oak in the background. A great wine. Needs just a touch more upfront fruit.
QPR @ $24 VG to Exc.
