Description

A beautifully composed Bordeaux-style blend that highlights the harmony achievable through skilful blending of premium fruit parcels. Jim’s Script 2016 showcases depth, balance, and classic structure, offering a refined expression of McLaren Vale craftsmanship. Rich, layered, and quietly powerful, it’s a wine that unfolds gracefully in the glass and rewards slow appreciation. Shows a deep crimson-red hue with a captivating bouquet of fresh mint, ripe plum, cassis, blackberry, raspberry, and bramble. Supporting notes of tobacco leaf, cigar box, dried herbs, and milk chocolate add further complexity. The palate is generous and elegant, with flavours of raspberry, cherry, plum, and blackcurrant interwoven with coffee, chocolate, roasted nuts, and warm brown spice. Well-integrated tannins provide structure and focus, carrying the wine through a long, lingering finish. A superb match for roast lamb, beef stews, or hearty game casseroles. Its depth and savoury charm also pair beautifully with slow-cooked dishes and richly seasoned plates. Cellared release and drinking beautifully now, yet will continue to evolve gracefully over the next few years.
