  {screwcap, 14.5%} Bright crimson ruby colour. As dumb a nose as I can recall from an Oz red of this age. Tar and black pepper perhaps, but very restrained. Palate hasn’t much flavour either, a hint of liquorice without being sweet maybe. Medium dusty tannins, seemingly grape-derived. Low/medium acidity. Little overt fruit. Short finish. Can something happen to this with time? What do you do with a second rate variety if you don’t stick it in a blend? Seems to lack the feral sort of rusticity you get in the Rutherglen examples of the grape. Not memorable despite all the usual d’Arenberg marketing effort on the label.
