D+0h: no deposit in the filter nor in the bottle, smells of blackberry and dark fruits D+6h: dark as ink, on the rim purple red, smells of blackberry and violets, smooth in the mouth, full body, in the mouth blackberry and violets, has a certain residual sugar, so more off-dry, the 14,5% alcohol are well integrated, in the aftertaste blackberry, violets and a little bit of acidity, good length (30 sec), good red wine for the price.

Second half of the bottle consumed 48 hours later. Flavours still rich but much smoother. Very enjoyable. Will definitely put the rest of the carton away for another year and try again then.

Nice aroma in the glass, lots of flavour, a bit sharp but more from alcohol than tannin. Softened over time with a little breathing. Only consumed half a bottle, will drink the rest in a day or so. Good potential so I’ve put the rest of the carton away for another year after which I think it will be more approachable.

Great value McLaren Vale Shiraz. PnP and opened up well. Better on day two with jammy red fruit and decent finish.
