This is a relatively oaky Chard, but not overdone. The cream, vanilla and spice of the wood meet up with pineapple, banana, Golden Delicious apple and citrus of the grape. The palate is creamy, with lowish acidity and just a dash of residual sugar. This is tailor-made for parties, get-togethers or simply for sipping.
Savoury aromas punctuated by dried herbs and prune. The rich mouthfeel unveils loads of dark berry action and mocha, culminating with earthy spice and a dusting of chocolate. Well-structured yet balanced, so will pair well with sauce-dressed meats.
Former Penfolds Grange winemaker John Duval puts his stamp on this complex, well-balanced Syrah. Aromas of floral, pepper and blackberry lead the charge. The palate exhibits a dense core of dark fruits with smoky wood and cocoa around the edges. Long pepper spice finish, with hints of liquorice. Fire up the grill!
Loads of Mediterranean spice and a touch of gingerbread on the nose with ripe flavours of plum and cherry, a touch of leather, and spice with a lifted finish. A great value and very versatile as it will pair with everything from salmon and grilled prawns to lamb.
70% Syrah and 30% Grenache. Dense purple in colour with a nose of blackberries and vanilla oak spiced with pepper and floral notes. Full-bodied, rich and full in the mouth with a petal-like softness in mid-palate. Its lively acidity carries it to a firm finish.
Elegantly perfumed fruit with subtle spice and a discreet scent of oak on the nose, shifting towards supple sour cherry flavour with some dark plum, stiff dry tannins and brisk acidity. Best with a bit more time in the cellar.
Great purity on the nose with the classic notes of cedar, pencil shavings, cassis, tobacco and graphite associated with the great wines of the left bank in Bordeaux. Polished firm tannins with fresh acid and generous amount of vanilla well supported by the concentration of fruit. Complex with a long finish. While the wine is without a doubt showing its high quality, it will express greater complexity in 10 to 15 years from now. A great example of the combination of finesse and power one finds in Saint-Julien in great vintages.
