Mountadam is doing very good things when it comes to shaping plush, contemporary-styled wines from their vineyards way up in the High Eden (at around 550m above sea level). The fruit purity on display is really something and there is a balance here, despite the higher alcohol level. Ripe blackberry and blackcurrant fruits with hints of briar, dried citrus blossom, roast capsicum, fine spice and cedar all come into play with fine, self-assured tannins and lacy acidity finishing long and bright. Points: 95/100
