Deep red colour with purple tints. Toasty, earthy, savoury bouquet with some barrel influence and some roasted-meat aromas. Ashy, smoky almost bushfire notes. A little stern, almost harsh, and doesn't have a lot of detail. Just a decent red, if inexpensive. This grew on me with repeat tasting.

Typical Mount Langi crimson colour; a deliciously complex wine, the bouquet and palate singing the same song, with a precocious display of spice and black pepper the soprano, rich plummy/velvety fruit the bass. Drink to 2023.
