Region/G.I.: Barossa, Barossa Valley
Vintage: 2002
Closure: Cork
Colour: Dark purple with a brown hue
Alcohol: 14.5%
Bouquet: Chocolate aromas and lifted raspberry with the smallest hint of mint
Flavour: Rather dull and past its peak. It's short but you get straightforward plummy flavours and the smallest amount of pepper
Points: 83 (4+8+9+6+6+50)
Notes: This started so well with colour and nose impressing. However, it really fell away. According to the maker's website, this should not yet be peaking. It is possible that we did not air this sufficiently. The current vintage 2009 retails for about $92.
