Esprit Barossa Valley Red Rhone Blend

Bigger fruit than last night's CdP but equally marvellous

Stunner - just dense & inky, brooding effusive nose of a berry compote, rich ripe saturated with pervasive spine of minerality, Herbes de Provence. Just jaw dropping. So soft & plush on palate, like sinking into an old Cadillac, crushed velvet, gobs of dark fruit, sweet baking spices, pepper and extraordinary length on finish. Tasted w/vintner prior to release (knew it would be epic) - drank & sold a lot of this. In the zone now w/many years ahead

Opulent, not showing its age, lush, complex, thoroughly enjoyed

Wow..... Gentle but awesome impact. Grenache, Shiraz, Mataro, cinsault.
