Yalumba, Bush Vine, Grenache, Barossa, 2024

Medium garnet. Rosewater. salted chocolate, plum halves, dried raspberries, gun flint, blueberries in the punnet, soft leather and dried tomato. Aromatic. Flowing, savoury undertone to dark raspberry and blue fruit. Suave: rose petals, bluestone, quinine, ink and pencils. Feels a little bigger than previous years but there’s still crunchy tannin and plenty to enjoy.
