Arakoon has just released 4 of its 2003 reds onto the market. The Blewitt Springs is the 2nd ranked wine behind the Doyen and I think replaced the Reserve Shiraz. (??)
Pretty nose; quite pronounced fresh fruits, clearly ripe, yet quite serious with good depth. A bit lighter than expected in the mouth (initially) but this is not a negative in any way. Fruit is very bright early but does firm up with some licorice and berry fruit, a touch of bitterness and some subtle wood. Probably a bit young as it feels just a smigden disjointed but don't let this detract from purchasing - it's a good drop and probably the best 2003 McLaren Vale we've had yet.
