You might have driven up the road to Mengler Hill before – it's kind of the gateway to the Eden Valley from the Barossa Valley floor. This vineyard is the Mattschoss Block 14 up at 483m. There's a real singularity of dark-fruited flavour in this wine. Everything compact and pure and tuned nicely. All in check. All the notes fit in nicely with each other like a major scale. Aside from the stunning plum and dark cherry fruit purity, the tannins are lovely, like powdered quartz, and they melt in the mouth. It's elegant and long and I do like that.
