This isn't the most interesting wine in Yalumba's vast range, but it ticks the style boxes. The nose is a straightforward combo of ripe plum, licorice, black pepper and vanillin oak, but it's quite closed at first. Give it time in the glass and it eventually morphs into something more fragrant and sweet fruited. It's feels a little warm on the palate, the toasty oak is on display, but the berry flavors are ripe and tangy, wrapped in a soft blanket of tannins. A slightly bitter note creeps in on the finish.
