The 2018 vintage of the original cuvée (there have been a number of additions to the range since 2003) Plexus is superb. Jane Faulkner (Halliday’s Wine Companion) hailed it as “a very satisfying combo with no variety fighting for the lead” whilst awarding the blend an impressive 95 points. This was matched by Nick Butler (Real Review) who described the cuvée as “understated and classy...beautiful wine” alongside his own 95 points.

95 Halliday Wine Companion

A very satisfying combo with no variety fighting for the lead. Expect a melody of red fruits lightly spiced with a fleck of herbs for good measure and meaty-stock flavours, too. The savoury and shapely tannins in tune with the more medium-weighted palate. Finishes fresh and buoyant. A ripper drink.

Drinking Window: 2020 - 2030

95 The Real Review

Quite striking in the glass, vibrant crimson-red with cherry-red edges. A spicy, subdued nose of ironstone and red licorice, oak-char and cinnamon. Fruit emerges on the palate, though there's nothing sweet about it. Red berries peel off a tightly-wound core of spice and soft tannin. Understated and classy - a pinot-esque elegance to it. Beautiful wine.

94 Wine Spectator

Striking, with dark, compact notes of huckleberry, wild blackberry, blueberry and espresso that are fragrant, pure and generous. Velvety tannins and details of cigar box, gunpowder tea, fresh cracked black pepper and spice go on and on. The finish is epic. Shiraz, Grenache and Mourvèdre. Drink now through 2035.

93 Vinous

Saturated, bright-rimmed ruby. Expressive, smoke-tinged cherry and blueberry aromas are complemented by exotic spice, floral and licorice flourishes. Sappy, penetrating and seamless in texture, offering pliant red and blue fruit, spicecake and candied violet flavors that become firmer through the mid-palate. Finishes with impressive, spicy persistence and with polished tannins adding subtle grip.

Producer

About John Duval

John Duval is an internationally acclaimed winemaker who formerly headed the winemaking team at Australia’s most legendary estate, Penfolds. Responsible for producing the iconic Penfolds Grange, as well as new cuvées such Bin 407 and ‘RWT’ Shiraz during his tenure, Duval is one of the single most influential winemakers over the last century.

Experiencing his first vintage at Australia’s greatest estate in 1974, Duval spent the following 12 years learning from founder Max Schubert and head winemaker Don Ditter. 1986 saw John Duval become only the third person responsible for one of the world’s greatest wines in Penfolds Grange.

Duval’s mastery in winemaking led him to establish his own winery, John Duval Wines, in 2003. With a focus on old vine Shiraz and other Rhône varietals, he makes small volumes of magical wines from the Barossa Valley. Since 2016, John Duval has been joined by his son, Tim. The father-and-son partnership continues the obsessive experimentation and introduction of new and exciting cuvées to the market.
