Yalumba The Caley Magnum 1.5L 2016

Magnificent in every sense. Perfume, poise, tension, length, detail. Fruit, spice, savouriness. Strong elements of Coonawarra are so evident with the seasoning of Barossa lending judicious character. Scents of cassis, kirsch, a booze-soaked berry experience, fennel, brown spice, turned earth and herbs. Superb. Slippery and long, seamless flow, the tannins fine and spreading in a web that draws the wine into long-distance mode even as they draw the wine to very, almost uncomfortably tight. Finishes lifted and fresh. Wow stuff, with the best to come.
