91/100 — Gismondi on Wine · 2010 Vintage · Tasted: Mar 2015
“Big boysenberry, blueberry jam, cassis, tobacco, light barnyard, peppery, clove aromas with an earthy, floral note. Ripe, round, full, suave and juicy palate with light tannins. Savoury, chocolate, peppery, cassis, licorice, earthy cove, blueberry, vanilla, menthol and tobacco flavours. Good finesse and length but slightly hollow mid-palate. Drinking well but should improve somewhat. (Stuart Tobe).”

About This Wine

The wine takes its name from the Barossa hills village of Keyneton, pioneered by pastoralist Joseph Keynes in 1842.
