This offers the distinctive savory spiced, highly herbal bouquet typical to Duval's South Aussie red blends. Showing a touch of bottle age already, this drinks well now, offering heady aromas of ground white and black pepper, graphite, chocolate, red-currant jam, and preserved plums. The palate is powerful but fresh. Tannins are chalky and chunky, with garrigue-like herbs lingering on the long finish.

Whether it's the extra year in bottle or the different conditions experienced in 2019 compared to 2020, this 2019 Plexus is slightly more savory, more seamless and softer. This really has it all... the dark chocolate, black cherry, raspberry pip, tobacco char and hung deli meat in each and every mouthful. Very nicely done.

Perfumed, with elegant notes of plumeria and violet that add an aromatic lift to the core of savory toasted herb, tobacco, loam and cola notes. This has appealing velvety tannins and plenty of harmony on the finish. Shiraz, Grenache and Mourvèdre. Drink now through 2035. 2,000 cases imported.
