Yalumba "MGS" Barossa Valley 2004

Purple/red.

White pepper/juniper, earth, black fruit nose.

Zesty white pepper/juniper in the mouth, too. There's a citrus zest (orange) component as well as a bit of textural "give". Not fat, but not brutal either. Very tasty, very well-made. Francophiles would like this.

Day 4 - Deeper and savory aromatically, with juniper white pepper now lifting the tail end. Really good, vibrant action.

$28. 60% Mourvedre, 22% Grenache, 18% Shiraz
