McLaren Vale NDV Nero d’Avola Amphora

A deeplyy brooding expression of nero, this is bristling with savoury flavour; black plum skin, olive, dried black cherry, panforte amaro, chicory root, tobacco, roasted hazelnut and bitter coffee. A formidable wall of tannin, pressed judiciously. It's an imposing wine, with alcohol creeping up, but it all makes perfet sense. It's an impressively individual take on the variety. BRAVO.
