I was expecting a fruit bomb, but it’s something different, which I liked first, but then…

Not your typical, bold Barossa red. Old World rather than New World, restrained and not sweet for what it is. Less minty, too, and there is a bit of a herby edge to it, suggesting whole bunches (or stems). Not heavy at all, though just a bit hot on the finish. It seems like trying to avoid being overdone in any way, which is a good thing, but it’s a bit unimpressive as a result. It could be more charming a year or two ago, while having primary fruits, but now it’s just a good wine which lacks some character.
