oh goodness, finally up over $20 for the RRP ($22 to be exact). This is old vine, bottle matured McLaren Vale OG for silly coin. Basket pressing, foot treading, French oak (new and used).

d’Arenberg, d’Arry’s Original, Grenache, Shiraz, McLaren Vale, 2020

Medium deep garnet. Chunky and comforting. Choc raspberry, deep cherries, rosewood, satsuma plum, hints of iodine, shaved sweet oak, dried kitchen herbs and red licorice. Generous and plush. Choc nut (choc hazelnuts), plums and with that savoury, minerally base. Fine, but genuine tannins with an unfiltered textural authenticity. Top value.

RRP: $22
Alc: 14.5%
Rating: 91/100
