d’Arenberg, The Lovegrass, Shiraz, McLaren Vale, 2018

Carries dark beetroot like earthy undertones to otherwise signature McLaren Vale red fruit before soppy plum, lifted violets and spiced liquorice. Waxy, coating feel to the tannins with intense, charcoal/graphite line. Full bodied, but the suppleness of the tannins and a little slipperiness makes it appear less daunting than it could be.

RRP: $30
Alc: 14.5%
Rating: 17.5/20 (90/100)
