A classic Aussie claret that smashes the brief from Terre à Terre. This is the fourth release of this wine with the label stamping its authority at Wrattonbully's premier producer.
Just up the road from the Coonawarra region, Wrattonbully is rich with terra rossa soils - those same soils that have made its neighbour famous.
A 66/34 blend, dark cherries and dark plums set the scene. Drying and puckering, dark chocolate is laced throughout as are delicate spices. With a generous mouthfeel, dusty and powdery tannins light the fuse. Savoury laden with dried herbs, licorice is prominent with a flash of cola late. Give this some bottle age and its development will be stunning.
Drink to ten years+
95/100
Region: Wrattonbully
