The palate is immediately thick and concentrated, offering a reverberating sweetness. This wine is loaded up with gobsmacking fruits that roll gently along the palate. This states its case without demanding it, the mouthfeel here is very succulent and it really draws you along and in. What you see on the bouquet comes through on the palate. The tannin profile is more stern and holds structure, the ending tannins are deep, minerally and have a drawn-out peppery edge. This is McLaren Vale with manners and will reward many years in a good dark cellar with its apogee being reached in 10 to 12+ years.
