(258 views) | | | Tasted by Rote Kappelle on 6/6/2022 & rated 93 points: Opened to celebrate a jolly outcome in some litigation for a very deserving client. I have a fondness for the Lindeman's Coonawarra trio.
The wine is almost inky and the colour is still red with only the slightest hint of brick. Perhaps not surprising as this was a stellar Coonawarra year.
The nose and palate deliver a plush, rich South Australian style red. It has the clean acid lift you get from Coonawarra, along with the richness of a ripe year. There is plenty of oak in this mix, both in terms of flavour and especially of texture - but it works; the texture is deep, a little creamy and finishes with firm but fine tannins.
The flavours are black currant, ripe plum, a hint of cedar, some spicy and sweet oak that sits just below the layers of fruit. It is good stuff! Long finish, great intensity. This might be a wine made from the Bordeaux varieties but it is a thousand miles from Bordeaux in style. If you don't like the rich South Australian styles, even though this has a bit more freshness and is not baked like many, stay away. For me, there is a place for the style and when I am in the mood then this is good.
Scored as 'Excellent' on the CT scale, under screw cap, note made day 2, no decant. (1182 views) | | | Tasted by Jimmy_D on 10/28/2017 & rated 89 points: I was pleasantly surprised by this. A decent Bordeaux blend out of Coonawarra that stands up to the history of Pyrus and the Trio. (1445 views) | | | Tasted by Pinotphile80 on 6/4/2016: ?? Bret (1502 views) | | | Tasted by Man in Black on 4/8/2014: Developing nose with medium+ intensity aromas of blackberries, plums, truffle, black olives cedar and vanilla. The wine is dry with a medium+ acidity. It has high ripe rounded tannins and high alcohol. It is full-bodied with medium+ flavour intensity. The finish is long.
It is a very good quality wine with a very interesting nose and a nice structure. It shows a good overall balance too.

Too many crappy wines since the mid-nineties have debased the currency of these labels, so they’re evidently made only as a nod to history these days. Irony is, this is a pretty decent wine. Mix of currants and spices makes up a fruity new-world Bdx nose, followed by a dry, medium-bodied palate with balanced chalky tannins, warmly ripe fruit, and a balanced, medium-length finish. Pretty tidy wine now, and for the next 8-10 years quite easily I reckon. Back on form, finally? (3152 views) |

Producer websiteRed Bordeaux BlendRed Bordeaux is generally made from a blend of grapes. Permitted grapes are Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec and rarely Carménère.Today Carménère is rarely used, with Château Clerc Milon, a fifth growth Bordeaux, being one of the few to still retain Carménère vines. As of July 2019, Bordeaux wineries authorized the use of four new red grapes to combat temperature increases in Bordeaux. These newly approved grapes are Marselan, Touriga Nacional, Castets, and Arinarnoa.
Wineries all over the world aspire to making wines in a Bordeaux style. In 1988, a group of American vintners formed The Meritage Association to identify wines made in this way. Although most Meritage wines come from California, there are members of the Meritage Association in 18 states and five other countries, including Argentina, Australia, Canada, Israel, and Mexico.Australia Wine Australia (Australian Wine and Brandy Corporation) | Australian Wines (Wikipedia)South Australia South Australian Wine Industry Association | South Australian Wines (Wikipedia)Limestone Coast Limestone CoastCoonawarra Coonawarra |
