Hamelin Bay Rampant Red 2023, Margaret River, AUD $28
This shiraz, cabernet sauvignon, merlot blend is a baby red that has a dominant primary fruit character and a touch of reduction, suggesting early bottling and little time in oak.
Brilliant colour: a deep and brightly youthful purple, and the aroma is likewise very fresh and primal, arguably a little unevolved but with bright raspberry, leafy, meaty aromas at first pour. It’s intense and youthfully vigorous, promising to evolve well with some time in the bottle. (Screwcap)
