Part of the new Kirrihill ‘Alternate’ range and apparently the result of ‘much blending experiments’.
It’s roughly hewn and carries just a little too much added acidity, but here the heartiness, the tannic grip and back palate power make this quite substantial.
Good, honest wine if hardly cheap for the style. Sub $20 and this would be more of a winner methinks.
Drink: 2014-2018
Score: 16.8/89, 89/100
Would I buy it? Not quite. Close.
