Fox Creek Postmaster GSM 2014, McLaren Vale
Deep crimson with garnet edges. It still has real life in the glass. Barnyard and horse-saddle notes open, sitting with dried red berries, earth and a light spice. There’s a clear gamey, slightly funky edge that feels very much part of the wine.
On the palate it’s silky and smooth. The fruit carries a meaty, gamey quality that gives it real character, with resolved tannins and good balance holding everything together. It feels rustic and a little wild, yet thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish.
At twelve years old it’s showing secondary character with real personality: savoury, slightly funky and still full of interest.
Vino Masters Score: 95/100 ★★★★★
A mature, rustic McLaren Vale GSM with a silky texture and gamey fruit that remains thoroughly enjoyable.
