Enticing from the outset, with aromas that are both restrained and immediately complex. Bay leaf, blackcurrant pastille, fine cedar, milk chocolate, dried herbs and tilled earth rise from the glass, supported by whispers of graphite and black olive. The palate is elegant, with a subtly creamy texture. Milk chocolate, blackcurrant, mint and cedar glide through the mouth before fine-boned, grainy tannins and mint-flecked acidity pull the wine linear and long. There’s real class here — a McLaren Vale Cabernet of restraint and poise that will go the distance in the cellar. Nicely done.
