Concentrated black fruit and mocha show immediate appeal, but the wine feels restrained for Adelaide Hills. The palate delivers cherry and earth with supple texture, yet modest tannins and a hint of green character suggest the fruit could have used more hang time. Pleasant but lacks the generosity this site typically delivers.
