Jacob's Creek 2007 Three Vines

Varieties: Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Tempranillo
Region/G.I.: South West Australia
Vintage: 2007
Closure: Screwcap
Colour: Fading purple with a violet hue
Alcohol: 12.5%
Bouquet: Weak nose with distant wet animal and almost rotting plum in mud aromas

Flavour: Not much at the start but develops into some plum conserve (povidla) and some plucky tannin that sticks to the top of one's mouth roof. A bit clunky/ not so well integrated. Medium body and length.
Points: 76 (3+3+9+6+5+50)
Notes: I bought this out of interest in 2009 and luckily only bought one. Plenty of tempranillo on offer now and interestingly this juggernaut no longer makes Three Vines
