Opaque purple. Aromatic nose combines boysenberry and cherry liqueur, fruitcake and
candied licorice. Pliant and deep, with palate-coating sweetness and a refreshing jolt of
peppery spice adding life to the black and blue fruit flavors. Rich and ripe but there's
very good energy here too. Finishes long and spicy, with a persistent note of candied
licorice. 90 points. Josh Reynolds
McLaren Vale has the honour of painting the lips red in 2010. This blend of Cabernet
(60%) and Shiraz (40%) offers plenty of plum, red fruits, liquorice and chocolate on the
nose, and a tarry edge too. The palate’s packed with juicy, ripe blood-plum and darkcherry flavour, tannins are fluid, soft and ripe, and flavours roll in red and purple shades
throughout. Terrific balance caps off a very handy young red. 92 points. Nick Stock
