Note di degustazione
Deep, lurid ruby. An explosively perfumed nose evokes ripe red and blue fruits, incense, woodsmoke and Indian spices, and a suave floral element emerges steadily with air. Deeply concentrated black raspberry and boysenberry flavors show outstanding clarity and no rough edges. Becomes more energetic as it opens out, picking up a hint of cola along the way. Smooth, rounded tannins lend shape to a strikingly long, floral-tinged finish that leaves a suggestion of sweet hoisin sauce behind.

Since 2012, Eclipse has been produced exclusively from estate-grown McLaren Vale fruit. The 2014 Eclipse is a blend of 85% Grenache, 8% Shiraz and 7% Graciano, aged almost entirely in used oak. Aromas of spiced strawberries and raspberries are inviting and complex, hinting at white pepper, cardamom and allspice. It's full-bodied yet seems almost weightless, buoyed by high-toned fruit and bright acids, while fine-grained, silky-textured tannins give shape and focus to the palate and add a savory edge on the long finish.
Grenache, Shiraz, Graciano. Pretty heavy bottle. Looks quite evolved. Big, rose-petal aromas. Then massive sweetness and alcohol on the palate. Most unusual nowadays! But I suppose if you can sell every bottle three times over, there is little need to change. There's a certain gentleness – until the next morning. (JR)
