2012 Jim Barry Shiraz The Lodge Hill

Community Tasting Note

wrote:

Monday, April 5, 2021 - I found Keith Clark’s note of July 2020 helpful and generally agree with it. Good nose with plenty of rich (mainly dark) fruit that I find almost sweet and certainly not dry. There is still spice, soft tannin and gentle acidity. I still get hints of ‘burnt rubber’ with, now, a little jam after an hour or so. A ripe ‘vegetal’ taste gradually developed on the late palate - not pleasant (reminiscent of parsnips?). I cannot put a numerical score on this wine, not least because my wife just didn’t like it, so an average score would be meaningless. Our last bottle. Perhaps a disappointing one-off. If you have any, it may be time to drink it.
