Colour: Opaque purple with a subtle mahogany hue.

Nose: Oak notes of cedar, light vanillin and cola are almost
swamped by black fruits and a subtle savoury liquorice edge. Still
youthful.

Palate: A more stony palate displaying strong fruit, a touch of salt
and pepper and ample nutty oak. Well balanced acidity for the
weight of fruit. Potential: 15+ years in a cool cellar. Decant on
opening and allow to breathe if possible for a couple of hours or
more.

2010 Vintage: A classic vintage with all the great hallmarks of
McLaren Vale.
