A rare single varietal take on this lesser-known grape by the ever-idiosyncratic Australians. Opaquely dark crimson with a robust nose of cherry, milk chocolate and violets against a cedar background. Full-bodied with ripe fruit and high alcohol, but fine-grained tannins and adequate acidity provide structure and avoid fruit-bomb territory. Delicious. Gives insight into why the Bordelaise still add this grape to their blends. Will last another year or two.
