Where does the time go ? Been trying to post this one for days it seems ...
Stelvin closure; dark purple turning to dark ruby at the edges of the glass; gobs of vicious legs; nose of ripe plums and blackberries with a hint of spice; full bodied mouthfeel; ripe blackberries with a hint of very ripe plums on the front palate; black pepper, spice, and just a touch of anise on the mid palate; dark chocolate on the back palate; ripe dusty tannins; just enough acidity to create a good balance; moderately long finish; $10.99 at our local bottle shop.
GREAT grog for the price ! Especially for McLaren Vale juice ... Kathleen and I couldn't stop ourselves and drank the whole bottle ... going back for more ...
Paired with beef stroganoff ... wonderful match ... really cut through the richness of the stroganoff ...
Clink !
