Light colour. Nose of red fruit and mud. Spritzy palate, with notes of raspberry, lemon rind and ground pepper. Lacking a bit of weight and richness to back up the primary fruit.

Light red color in the glass. A very interesting nose that was slighty earthy, with mushrooms, forest floor with dark cherry and strawberry. The palate was silky with soft tannins. The flavours were not as interesting as the nose primarily darky cherry with some earthiness. Still holds some promise over the next few years.

Derwent & Coal Valley wineries; 4/20/2011-4/21/2011 (Hobart, Tasmania): {screwcap, 13.5%, A$45} Youthful, but a more earthy series of aromas than the 08 wine, with tobacco and game more overt here among cherry/strawberry fruit. The palate is very low key, almost slippery in texture, with soft tannins barely noticeable. There's a medim-length finish of these vague earthy flavours but it seems to lack depth somehow. Maybe it's just too young, but somehow I could find a place to meet this wine at all, and much preferred the 08.
