Region/G.I.: Mount Lofty Ranges, Adelaide Hills
Vintage: 2004
Closure: Screwcap
Colour: Brickish (almost faded purple)
Alcohol: 14.0%
Bouquet: Dry earth and a surprising amount of plum fruit given its age
Flavour: Fruitier (plum with a mix of brambly flavours thrown in) than expected without being flabby and some drying tannin. It tasted like a much younger wine. Points: 85 (3+7+11+7+7+50)
Notes: My contribution to Friday night and although enjoyable, I expected a bit more nuance and sophistication for a ten year old wine. Bought earlier this year from an aged wine specialist for $24.30 ~ 440 Kc. Fine but I was aiming for something excellent.
