Tasmania Wineries Jan-12 (2) - Tamar Valley; 1/15/2012-1/19/2012 (Tasmania): {screwcap, 13% , A$33} An olive green-smelling kind of nose, largely of currants and herbs and basil. Certainly leafy. The palate is dry, quite juicily-fruited, with soft oak plyaing distant second fiddle to pungent tree-sap/herbal flavours. Medium dusty tannins, medium-high acid, and medium-weighted; the defiantly leafy flavours don’t stop it having a good balance along the palate, precluding any kind of hole. Avoids heat on the finish too. Good wine. I bought a bottle to drink later and it drank well enough right to the end.
