Grenache/ Shiraz/ Mourvedre blend, Barossa Australia. V forward wine, immediately delicious. Right from the cork pull, it's already open for business. Interesting nose of warm berries and a tad of minty, medicinal whiff...not bad. Pleasant entry, q rounded and v full-bodied. Texture is smooth and blackcurrant/ sour plums dominate the palate. Finish is warm and satisfying. Not much complexity or transition between entry/ mid palate/ finish, otherwise it'd be a great wine. Nonetheless, excellent value at its price point of around S$70 (US$55). An unpretentious and solid effort (8.3/10).
