Massena Moonlight Run Barossa Valley 2003

Upright for a week+ and still quite hazy, red, evolved rim. A stew of a nose - hints of red cherry, strawberry, smoke, meat, even orange zest. Interesting, just lacks (easy) aromatic clarity.


Huge, glyceral, mouth-coating texture - impossible to dislike this. Major bone-fest. Flavors of strawberry jam, meat/game, sl. saline impression. Medium length, acid a bit spiky in the finish.


50% Grenache, 30% Shiraz, 15% Mataro. 5% Cinsaut
