Mayford Tempranillo 2013

The colour is deep and dark, the bouquet is fresh and already quite complex, with a lifted floral, spicy perfume – with an inviting brightness. It builds cherry liqueur notes as it breathes. The palate has very good depth and intensity, fleshiness and medium to full body, with tight, fine-grained tannins. A superb tempranillo. Mayford’s had more density and extract than most Aussie versions. Drink 2014 – 2031.
