Tim Smith Mataro 2023
This has the classic varietal aromas of Chinese-5-spice, liquorice and dark berry fruits. The palate is at once spicy, with lively defining tannins due to being picked at exactly the right time.
"Old vine mataro (the majority from an 150-year-old block) from Kalimna in the north of the Barossa. '23 presents a slightly cooler year and there is a denser spice presence felt in this wine. Meaty dark and black berry fruits on a bed of garrigue, turned earth, pressed purple flowers, dried citrus peel, pastis, dried meats and spice. Quite elemental and concentrated with fine, compact tannins and a sense of latent power as it trails off."Ā 95 Points Dave Brookes Halliday Wine.
