  Taste of Tasmania 10/11 (Hobart): {screwcap, 13.5%, A$45} Flashily packaged, and made by recent award winner Anna Pooley, this presents a very closed, subdued nose of dark fruits and sour cherry; all very classical. The palate continues with cherries and violets, fine-grained dusty tannins, and subtle oak. It's only really light-medium bodied, but has an even if rather low-key palate, and resolves to a dry medium length finish. More austere and perhaps polished than its Derwent Valley sibling, but I struggle a bit to see the value here. Track record is sporadic, so perhaps its a bit aspirational. Objectively fine enough; perhaps the real interst is in buying both the wines and comparing their evolution.
