Leading with garden mint, dark chocolate and blackcurrant, the 2019 The Blend is a mouthfilling, spicy, elegant wine. It finishes with cloves and licorice, but the fruit on the mid-palate is concentrated, good and lovely. Not hugely complex, but it's so varietal and spicy that it doesn't matter a jot.
This was tasted blind as part of the "Value for Money" tasting in September 2023. RRP $19 AUD.
