B.J. Barry & Son 2000 Jus Hill Riesling

Variety: Riesling
Region/G.I.: Mount Lofty Ranges, Clare Valley
Vintage: 2000
Colour: Rich golden yellow
Alcohol: 13.2%
Bouquet: Bottle age/oxidation and hazelnut liquor
Flavour: If there was any doubt that this was oxidated, the taste (or lack of) gave this away. Short and almost tasteless.
Points: X (or if we really had to score 68: 4+7+5+1+1)
Notes: My contribution to a Clare Valley tasting. The dry cork crumbled on opening suggesting it was of poor quality/ the bottle may not have been stored well. Anyway, the wine was clearly oxidated. Sadly, this was one of the wines I tried from a wine shop in Tasmania that sells aged wine. Better luck next time!
