96 POINTS - Z-Force McLaren Vale Shiraz 2018
It’s superbly ripe and gloriously expressed, showing dark fruit richness combined with spicy oak, cake spice, clove and dark chocolate notes, offering outstanding concentration and plush texture. Delicious and complex with an impressively long lavish finish. At its best: now to 2035.
95 POINTS - Violet Beauregard Langhorne Creek Malbec 2020
Immediately enticing, offering sweet plum, blueberry and potpourri with a light touch of fragrant spices. It’s richly textured and mouthfilling on the palate, wonderfully complemented by fleshy texture and velvety tannins. At its best: now to 2032.
94 POINTS - Canto Fleurieu Sangiovese Lagrein 2019
Bold and sturdy with dark berry, floral, citrus peel, warm spice and roasted nut characters, it’s wonderfully weighted and generously textured with plenty of fine-grained tannins, making it structured and persistent on the finish. Delectably appealing. At its best: now to 2032.
94 POINTS - Love Symbol McLaren Vale Grenache 2019
This is fabulously styled and perfumed with sweet plum, cherry and assorted nut aromas with a floral overtone. It’s juicy and rounded in the mouth offering silky-smooth mouthfeel and mellow tannins, making it instantly appealing. At its best: now to 2029.
93 POINTS - Chocolate Factory McLaren Vale Shiraz 2019
It’s bright and youthfully attractive on the nose showing dark plum, mulberry, violet, tar and hazelnut aromas. The succulent palate displays supple mouthfeel and fleshy texture, beautifully flowing to a lengthy silky finish. At its best: now to 2032.
92 POINTS - Blackberry Patch Fleurieu Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
Delightfully fruited and inviting on the nose showing blackcurrant, Black Doris plum, olive and subtle cedar notes, followed by a flavoursome palate that’s medium-full-bodied and lingering. Well proportioned and crafted for excellent drinking. At its best: now to 2032.
