This McLaren Vale red, likely a Shiraz or a blend given the region and ‘Old Vines’ designation, should present a deep ruby to purple color. Aromas will be intense, featuring concentrated dark fruits like blackberry, plum, and black cherry, interwoven with notes of dark chocolate, licorice, and a hint of spice from potential oak aging (vanilla, pepper, or mocha). On the palate, expect a full-bodied and rich texture with robust tannins that are well-integrated, balanced by vibrant acidity. The fruit flavors will persist, leading to a long, complex finish with a savory undertone.
