Tempranillo from the Blackwood Valley in Western Australia.
Tight and coiled with a puckering finish. Black olive, dried herbs, twigs, black cherry, a touch of smoke. Chalky and dusty tannins sap all moisture from the mouth. Hard to get through, mind you, food might help. Something beefy perhaps?
Drink now to five years.
