JM 1ST APPROACH

berry jam and spice introduce a full-bodied wine and emphatic tannic structure. Wow. (Screw cap; 14.5 percent alcohol.) Ageing? Yes, from two to 20years. 93+ points Ralph Kyte Powell
Excellent fragrance, polish, guts and length. Ironstone, blood plums, smoky/musky oak. Thick chains of grunty tannin. Handsome wine. Flavour floods through the finish. Stories and ratings aside, this is my most preferred of the initial Eldorado Road offerings. 94 points Winefront.com.au

A modern, ancient, new wave, old world wine of real class and style ..... A polished but characterful red. Flavours of charcoal, raisin, cedar and ironstone. Medium-weight but ripe and generous. Feels modern, balanced, soft on the tongue. ... It's an excellent north-east Victorian red blend. 93 points Winefront.com.au

Made by the unflappable Javier Murua. Almost entirely tempranillo but co-fermented with a smidge of grenache. Sees a small portion of old French and American oak. Elegant yet characterful and then punchy through the finish. Has structure. Has a big dry finish. Licorice and cherry and twiggy sinewy almost-bitter notes. Chicory too. A grunty wine. Will be a handy drinking option through the cooler months. Like it. 90 points Winefront

A simply excellent example of tasty young Tempranillo, with cola, spice and a little bacon bone complexity; the palate is lively and fine, zesty and long, and while easy drinking, has plenty of backbone and structure; trophy Riverina Wine Show. 95 points James Halliday.

The bouquet is full of mocha oak, sarsaparilla and plums; the palate is fleshy, forward, rich and fresh, showing the McLaren Vale side of this variety's personality; generous, but not to a fault, just a lovely drink. 92 points James Halliday

powerful, impenetrable black depth is densely packed with liquorice, coal, black olives, black jubes, plum pudding and every black fruit you could conjure. It’s a testimony to Pete Schell’s mastery that, in the midst of this maelstrom, it never deviates from its linear focus to become broad or soupy. Rather, impeccably handled tannins and tangy acidity pull the finish in straight and true.  94 points Tyson Tselzer

The palate is long and tasty with a tannic finish that is vitally important to balance the wine richness and make it best suited to drinking with food.
Sarsaparilla,  jasmine and lavender, red fruits, crushed black spice and tea leaf with suggestions of turned earth, meat and rocks. Bright but balanced acidity, minimal oak interference and very fine tannin. The architecture is intricate and fascinating.  92 Very Good" Wine Will Eat Itself

A steal at the price. Importer: Fourth Wave Wine It works best as a quaffer but quality-wise it’s better than that. Beautiful fruit. Clean savouriness. Tastes of black cherries, spice, and peanut oil. Ferrous aromatics. Builds in the glass. I wouldn’t age it but I’d buy a case of this for drinking over the next year in a heartbeat. Rated : 91 Points
