JM 1ST APPROACH

Black as midnight with vivid purple hue. A seductive nose of sweet briar, violets, mulberries, smouldering toasty oak drenched with alluring hints of coffee and vanilla bean. Provocative silky sweet blackberry and bramble fruit voluptuously fi ll the dense, rich palate coalescing with typical McLaren Vale black olive nuances, all enraptured by chocolate, mocha and spicy clove notes.

The palate is generously extended by chewy liquorice tannins and a gentle touch of warming black pepper on the finish. Succulent mulberry and red currant fruit harmonise with velvety chocolate, mocha and sweet vanillin nuances. Underlying smoked bacon, mint and earthy characters add ethereal complexity and create a lingering finish of soft raspberry liquorice tannins.
