The 2019 Spinifex Bete Noir offers a medium to full flavoured palate with flavours that range through plum, spice and wood. This is a great Bête Noir, with Schell's reputation as a master-blender clearly on show. From a vintage that was significantly lower-yielding than 2019, it shines with old-vine intensity, yet it's also surprisingly fleet of foot with dense and silky dark fruits encased in a web of fine tannins tempered by lingering freshness.
