Bullethead Likes this wine: 94 points
October 2, 2022 - Bought from the domaine directly when I was in Tasmania few years ago. A lot of mushroom and truffle note on nose and impressive palate. Great wine.

December 31, 2018 - 6 Tasmania wineries Dec-19; 12/27/2018-1/2/2019 (Tasmania): {cork, 14%, A$85} It’s easy to prove the 50% new/old oak mix when there was just one barrel of each to make this wine. So, 50 cases made. The nose is how I’d expect a 2011 from almost anywhere in southern Australia to present; herbaceous, a bit leafy on the nose, open and leafy on the palate, with brambles and herbs, although with a bit of plum fruit too. Mind you the Coal Valley is just about the driest place in Oz to make wine (700ml/pa rainfall) so they possibly escaped the worst of the vintage. Perhaps I’ve a Pavlovian response to the vintage label. Anyway, I still think this is about ready to drink, with medium gritty tannins, medium weight and length, and an even but rather low key palate. Quality doesn’t justify the price for me.
