Region/G.I.: Central Victoria
Vintage: 1997
Closure: Cork
Colour: Brown-red
Alcohol: 13.5%
Bouquet: Brine/salty and shrill red-currant
Flavour: Complex. Very well integrated with plum, some dry herbs like rosemary and bay leaf offering something elegant and nuanced flavours for every mouthful. Incredibly smooth and even with lovely length.
Points: 90 (4+7+13+8+8+50)
Notes: The cork looked a little dodgy but the contents shone through. This was excellent. Bought at auction earlier this year for $19~340 Kc, it was a bit of a gamble but well worth it. The current vintage is 2012 and retails for $22.
