Jeff reviewed this one a while back and I finally opened a bottle to drink over a week whenever I wanted a glass. Yeah it might be a little young but I need to sacrifice some of the young stuff to bootstrap the kind of collection where you can regularly consume 5 year old bottles of wine.
My first initial comment is that this is very drinkable wine. No nasty heat in the mouth from the alcohol and when you let it sit for a bit there is a nice smooth flavour that lets you taste the soil. I think that the drinkability comes from the fact that it has a lightness about it, probably stemming from a good balance between the sugars and tannins.
I got this from the same place Jeff did at the same price. As he points out, this is a good wine for people to try who don’t believe that Australia can do anything between Yellowtail and Grange.
