This one is another wine from de Bortoli, and is made from Syrah and Tempranillo grapes grown in the King Valley. A lovely red in colour, with aromas of red cherry, cranberry, mulberry and olives. It is also a bit meaty, with some leather, earth and spice. There are also lots of lovely soft fruits on the palate, with some light spices, soft earth, supple leather notes and some cleansing acid. Medium bodied, sweet fruits with a savoury edge - very approachable - great stuff. A bit of complexity, a lot of drinkability, and overflowing with value. Enjoy over the short term I think.
