Sunday, October 12, 2014 - "2015" Sydney International Wine Show - stewarding notes; 10/11/2014-10/16/2014 (Blue Mountains, NSW): {screwcap, 14.3%} Bit of a rogue, this, how we ended up picking a 2011 SA red I don’t know, but there you go. Lots of herbal currants. Very cabernet; the lousy vintage takes the focus away from the region and onto the grape. Palate is very tannic, with a gritty texture; it’s medium-bodied, but after an initial burst of currant flavour everything falls away and reveals a hollow mid-palate. Dry finish is attenuated too. It’s a good try from the vintage, but as a Bordeaux it’d be one of those ‘restaurant vintages’. Drink up.
