Description
The 2007 Ares is 100% Shiraz from Barossa and McLaren Vale aged for 24 months in barrel, the last 12 in 100% new French. A glass-coating opaque purple colour, it displays an aromatic array of toast, smoke, game, lavender, and blueberry. Dense, ripe, and savoury but slightly compact (a common trait in this vintage), this is a solid effort that does not come close to justifying its extravagant price.
