Cola, black raspberry, lavender bush, smoky, turned soil. This is what fine Australian Tempranillo taste like, still bright and fresh in its youth. The bark/soil earthiness paired with the dark fruits create a great balance for the fine grained slightly dusty tannins to hold on the palate. The acid is on point and shows the length that this wine gives.
