Yalumba, Vine Vale, Grenache, Barossa Valley, 2024

Medium garnet. Focused with warm baking spices, raspberry, cherry, cranberry, grated chocolate, rose water, rose petals, tangelo, graphite and velvet. Precise, balanced and flowing. Exacting power without weight and spiced coda. The tannins are fine and meshed, flowing silky fine and elegant. A wine of brightness, depth and length. Great value.
