Adelaide Hills, South Australia.  A full-bodied yet wieldy style with dark berry notes on the nose combine with understated bracken and soft strikes of vanillin oak. Rich, full blackberry/red currant fruit at the hilt taper gently to a rounded finish of lush velvety tannins...

Yarra Valley, Victoria. This baby's real deep and dry after a good airing: I prefer it with these ravens in its dark piny boughs. That'll be some of the colour of its smell. It gets a wee bit sooty, which is also cool. Because below those prickly crarky topnotes come dark juniper and blackcurrant, even that whiff of tiny grape currants. Real deep framboise and crème de cassis pressings. Yum. The palate's sinuous and juicy. The velvety tannins here are more a....

Mornington Peninsula, Victoria. "The word integration springs to the front of your mind. This is meaty, spicy and complex but it carries its various facets easily along with it, the fruit flowing at a fair clip. It feels skillful. It tastes terrific."

Mornington Peninsula, Victoria. Already looks very composed. Red fruit and oak (spice, slight creaminess) already integrated. Appealing berry compote and cream. Medium bodied, this feels perfumed and pure and clean-fruited in the mouth; a touch of plushness - just right - pulpy and balanced, and the acidity nicely nudges it through. Fresh. Lovely fruit, and very well put together...
