PARACOMBE 2018 'THE REUBEN' ($27 / Adelaide Hills, SA)
A blend of merlot, cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, malbec and shiraz - WOW a 7 yr old current release. Divine bouquet of plums, cherries with a dash of pepper & a smidge of vanillin oak. Complex, rich, juicy palate with big flavours which are still quite tight + some savoury notes. A brilliant food wine now but it will reward further cellaring to become UTTERLY STUNNING!!Dan Traucki
