Taste of Tasmania 10/11 (Hobart): {screwcap, A$32} Soft and restrained nose. Plums, spice and subtle oak. Authentic enough. A wine that ticks all the ‘light-medium’ boxes; it’s quite well-balanced, and with a fresh cut of acid. The flavours are quite soft; spicy red fruits in a savoury style, just ripe enough, finishing quite dry. I was expecting to be a bit more ‘whelmed’ by this; but despite its rather ethereal nature I’ll put my faith in its intrinsic balance for the medium term.

Had this twice at restaurants and consistently 88 points. The high acid and touch of greenness allowed it to go really well with asian food.

Taste of Tasmania Tasting 2011 (Oak Barrel, Elizabeth Street, Sydney): Leather and spice over earth and red fruit. Very spicy over leather and slight fruit which gives way to peppery medium minus tannin which carries into a long finish. The lack of fruit is a concern
