Taste of Tasmania 10/11 (Hobart): {screwcap, 11.8%, A$22}. Soft floral nose. Coats the tongue quite well with white flowery fruits, is light-bodied, and very clearly off-dry. But it lacks persistence, or the sort of extra dimension to lift it away from a bland sweetness. Dull.

Taste of Tasmania 09/10 (Hobart): {screwcap, 11.8%} 'Variable Grams Residual', in case you were wondering. And I think winemaker Fred Peacock told me how many, but I didn't note it down - between 40 & 60g is a safe bet. It's a bit bland; sweet white flowers on the nose, some perfume; the palate has a little sweet lime as the chief fruit component. The light body is fine, and even the acid's in balance, but there's just nothing much of real interest here. A bit insipid overall.
