D'Arenberg's 2017 The Ironstone Pressings Grenache Shiraz Mourvedre is almost a 50-50 blend of the main varieties, with the actual numbers being 50% Grenache, 47% Shiraz and 3% Mourvèdre. Scents of camphor, raspberries and cassis emerge on the nose, while the full-bodied palate is firm and only slightly giving, leading into a long, mouth-drying finish. It's not the easiest wine to drink young, but it should reward 3-4 years of cellaring and drink well for a decade after that.

Dense and firm, with a minerally edge and accents of tobacco and roasted herb to the cassis and cherry notes. Shows fresh flavors and concentration, making this a good candidate for the cellar.
