Domaine de Tournon - Heathcote - Lady's Lane Vineyard - Rouge - 2015

Wine:

The 2015 red Lady's Lane Vineyard is a great wine. Victoria's shale and clay soils are the most favorable for producing fine wines that age well. Michel Chapoutier was right once again, and this Syrah delivers a concentrate of spices, with incense, and delicate notes of red fruits. Concentration, smooth tannins, persistence, and finesse form a Syrah wine that combines richness and delicacy. An undeniable success!
