Rolf Binder "Heinrich" Barossa Valley 2005

Purple/red.

Black raspberry coulis, earth, licorice and peppermint aromatics.

Round and seamless in the mouth, with a middle-weight feel. Acid tamps down any textural extravagance. Raspberry flavor dominates. Mint flavor kicks in strongly in the finish.

Day 3 - More reticent on the nose now. Earth and some oak spice. Nice depth, though. Round and very creamy in the mouth. Raspberries and cream. Not particularly complex, but quite easy to enjoy.


$25 screwcap. 55% Shiraz, 30% Mataro, 15% Grenache.
