As its comic-like label suggests, this wine is dressed for the funky laneway small bar.
Having read all wine labels I come across, this label was not the most informative and I ended up researching its origin online.
While this wine did not start off well for an amateur-enthusiast like myself, the tasting was taletelling.
1. The nose was filled with ripe berries, liquorice and spice. McLaren Valean.. TICK.
2. Energetic dark crimson hues was a promising look. TICK.
3. Flavours blended nicely with two layers, first with gentle blackberries entering the palate, followed with chewy confectionary. This was achieved on a well balanced soft tannin structure and slightly above average alcohol content (14.5%). TICK.
This wine fused the classic McLaren shiraz grape with modern textures and notes which would marry nicely with small bar foods. Prove me wrong - but this wine is dressed for the occasion.
