TASTING NOTES FOR Kilikanoon Baudinet Grenache Shiraz Mataro 2019

🍷 Appearance
Deep garnet red with a vibrant purple hue. Dense and насыщенный in the glass, showing both richness and youthful energy.

👃 Aromas
Complex and layered, opening with blackberry, plum and dark cherry, followed by spice, pepper and earthy undertones. Hints of leather, lavender and subtle oak add depth and intrigue.

👅 Palate
Concentrated and seamless, with red plum, cherry and blackberry flowing together beautifully. Savoury elements—spice, chocolate, and a meaty edge—add complexity, while fine tannins and balanced acidity keep everything in harmony.

🍈 Texture & Finish
Silky yet structured, with plush tannins and a refined mouthfeel. The finish is long, expressive and savoury, with lingering dark fruit, spice and subtle smoky notes.

🍇 Overall Style
A top-tier Clare Valley GSM—powerful yet elegant, combining bright fruit purity with depth and savoury complexity. A multi-award-winning blend that showcases precision, balance and serious pedigree.

🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with roast lamb, slow-cooked beef, duck or game dishes. Also excellent with mushroom risotto or aged hard cheeses.

🥂 BBD Verdict
A seriously impressive GSM—rich, layered and beautifully balanced.
A standout for mixed dozens when you want depth, class and a real crowd-pleaser.
