Region/G.I.: Hunter Valley, Hunter
Vintage: 2010
Closure: Screwcap
Colour: Purple with a darkish pink hue
Alcohol: 12.2%
Bouquet: Equal measure of cedar/cigar box aromas and blackcurrant/hint of tomato vine (The nose is more towards a Cab Sav)
Flavour: Chewey, chunky tannin is the highlight in the flavour profile as this starts of a little subdued in the mouth with lighter, fruit, again to blackcurrant and slightly bitter red currants. The flavour profile develops as you taste. Satisfying, even if a little quirky.
Points: 84 (3+7+11+7+6+50)
Notes: I bought this in a mixed case three years ago and have tried the producer before here, with similar results. A solid wine (and better than last night's effort which is now in the freezer to be used for cooking). $15.50~300Kc
