Written Notes

im Smith is the master at richly textured reds. Spends 20 months in French oak. Licoricey, generous Barossan red with the typical ‘come hither’ Tim Smith ripe fruit and integrated oak mode. Palate has not a hair out of place – it’s a smooth, lightly creamy, dark pastel fruit and vanilla oak-laden wave that lingers on. It perhaps needw just a little more tannin to kick into the next gear but I challenge you not to like this. Best drinking: now and will go for fifteen years. 18/20, 93/100. 14.5%, $40. Would I buy it? Yes.
