Mayford Tempranillo 2014 – 96+ Points

Mayford has morphed into one of the leading lights when it comes to Australian tempranillo – and this 2014 is the most detailed to date. It’s dark purple-garnet and enticing in a big glass. While in the savoury spectrum, at its core there’s really juicy, good fruit serving up an amalgam of tempranillo flavours from sarsaparilla, Redskins lollies to fresh raspberries plus some oak spice and florals. Full-bodied, complex with distinct grainy tannins and refreshing sorbet-like acidity ensuring the end result is a superb drink. Cellaring: 2016 to 2028+.
