Taste of Tasmania 10/11 (Hobart): {screwcap, 14%, A$34} Rich, aging nose of cashews and stonefruits along with some crisp oak. The palate tastes quite advanced, with decaying woody notes apparent and jostling interstingly with the tangy developing fruits. Good balance of flavour along the tongue, helped by a light tannic grip, the wine’s medium-bodied with a medium-length finish. I rather think it’s at peak now at five years of age, there’s just something about the spicy fruit that says it’s going to fade rather fast once it hits the downslope.
