McLaren Vale

Despite the fact that the underlying tannins are finer than usual

this is going to require at least some patience so that the mid-palate can flesh out

the 2013 Barbaresco Asili Vecchie Viti is the first wine we tasted together

but retain their vibrancy

Penfolds, Magill Estate Shiraz other_regions McLaren ValeThe 2016 Shiraz Magill Estate aged in 100% new oak (70% French and 30% American), which has left its cedary, vanilla mark on the wine, but in a balanced, harmonious way. It's a full bodied wine, with big berry fruit and lavish oak, yet those components are wonderfully judged, coming together in a fine, elegant wine that showcases the brand's home estate in the Adelaide suburbs. With only 15 cases for the United States, it will be tough to track down.
