John Duval SGM 'Plexus' 2005 --Tanzer 93, RP 92 750ml



$34.99

Not currently in stock.

"(...50% shiraz, 34% grenache and 16% mourvedre) Bright ruby. Focused raspberry and cassis aromas, with sexy Asian spice and vanilla notes adding complexity. A suave, silky midweight, with pure red and dark berry flavors braced by racy acidity. I love the interplay of sweet, juicy fruit, supple tannins and understated oak. Finishes with the clarity, complexity and persistence of wines that cost three times the price. One of the greatest values in Australian wine today." 93 points, Josh Raynolds, Stephen Tanzer's IWC, Jul/Aug 07.

"The 2005 Plexus is composed of 50% Shiraz, 34% Grenache, and 16% Mourvedre aged for 15 months in 17% new French oak. Opaque purple-colored, it offers up an enticing bouquet of cedar, spice box, tobacco, smoked meat and game, black cherry, and blueberry. This is followed by a full-bodied wine with lush, opulent fruit, mouth-filling flavors, and a seamless, forward style. Drink it over the next 10 years."  92 pts, Jay Miller, Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate, Oct 2007.

"Smooth and round, this is polished in texture and ripe, with plum and blackberry fruit, hinting at creamy spices as the finish lingers. Shiraz, Grenache and Mourvèdre. Drink now through 2013. 1,000 cases imported. –HS"  91 pts, The Wine Spectator, Oct. 15, 2007.
