Ldr The Lane Adelaide Hills 2022

65% shiraz, 20% cabernet and 15% merlot. This is a superb, highly versatile everyday drinking wine that will win over those who pine for a Euro sensibility. Bell pepper, bitter chocolate, chilli and root spice bound to a twine of gentle tannin that’s pliant enough to give the wine a savory quality without overwhelming the flow of forest fruits and spice. Drink or hold. Score – 92. (Ned Goodwin, MW, jamessuckling.com, June 12, 2023)
