Derwent & Coal Valley wineries; 4/20/2011-4/21/2011 (Hobart, Tasmania): {screwcap, 14.5%, A$45} Youthful nose; nuts, oak, lees. A sweaty note too. An assertive rather linear palate of grippy grapefruit flavours all packed tightly together with french oak. Medium-bodied, still somewhat restrained at this age, with medium acid and medium-length of finish, but good even presence along the tongue. Very good overall; certainly doesn't need any more oak than it has; think it's proabaly at best within 5 years. The price doesn't exactly make you want to rush out and buy some, though...
