Vintage 2018
Perfectly poised 95 Points
The FDR in this wine's name stands for 'Fine Dry Red'. If it were me, I'd call it 'ALC', or 'Aussie Luncheon Claret', but I guess that's why I'm not in marketing. Eden Valley fruit for this classic Australian blend and it's a deeply coloured, deeply fruited and perfectly poised wine that shows pristine black fruit characters, layers of spice, licorice, earth and a roasting meat tone. There is a very impressive density to its fruit without becoming overblown or suffering loss of clarity, and the tannins melt into the wine as it rumbles off into the distance, all latent power and opulent fruit. Lovely stuff. 2024 Halliday Wine Companion top-rated wines, 06 Jul 2023
