2023 Teusner Avatar

A Grenache, Mataro and Shiraz blend matured in seasoned oak. Deep dark red black core with a dark red hue. Alluring dark raspberry, plum and liquorice scents fill the nostrils complimented by some vanillin spice, earth and dried herb notes. Rich and succulent the plump palate is awash with dark raspberry, ripe plum and red liquorice fruits. Notions of vanillin spice, subtle dried herbs and pepper ensue. Amply powered it has velvet smooth tannins and concludes long, opulently textured and juicy.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
Alc. 14.5%

Other Reviews….
60/30/10% grenache/mataro/shiraz from the parishes of Ebenezer, Moppa, Seppeltsfield, Williamstown and Tanunda. The Avatar is always a firm favourite and the 2023 version does not disappoint. Medium bodied, pure plummy fruits, dredged with spice, citrus blossom top-notes, earth, gingerbread and a touch of sarsaparilla in the background. Ditto on the palate! Balanced, fine, gentle, pillowy tannins and a whole lot of drinkability. Drink by 2034.
