John Duval Wines "Plexus" Barossa Valley 2004

Deep red.

Vinturi - this could only come from Oz - medicinal/meat/toasted nut/slight barnyard/black raspberry nose.

Round and completely plush/confectionary in the mouth. Nothing subtle about this now (much more discreet a couple of years ago). Shows a saline character, too. But I'm not sure this wasn't better a couple of years ago.


$38. From the long-time winemaker of Penfolds. 49% Shiraz, 27% Grenache, 24% Mourvedre.
