Hardy’s Tintara, Yeenunga, Shiraz, McLaren Vale, 2015

Alluring aromas of soaked plums and vanilla paste over grounding asphalt, tar and graphite. Coffee grounds and sweet whispers of blackberry. Serious. Intense. Thick, yet fully structured dark fruits. Powerful plum and dark raspberry stretched taut over mineral lines. A wine of concentrated depth and complexity.
