Tasmania Wineries Jan-12 (1) - Coal Valley (Coal Valley, Tasmania): {diam, 13.5%, A$28} Another retaste since Easter, and I’m even less convinced by this. A little darker and softer on the nose than the 2006, but the palate is really just too green and sappy. Well enough made, but there’s just too much DMS running through this to drink more than the odd glass. Buy the 2006 instead.

A brooding deep red in colour, the nose is packed full of dark berries, olive and leather character.
The palate is rich and savoury at the same time with a delicate interplay between ripe blackberry and earthy tannins. It gains momentum as it moves from start to finish and has an underlying saltiness that serves to add texture and contrast.
On the finish there is good length of olive and blackberry fruit.
The Stoney Vineyard represents the same exceptional quality as the Estate wine , with an incredibly good value price tag. Review Link - www.winereviewer.com.au (drink from 2011-2018)

Derwent & Coal Valley wineries; 4/20/2011-4/21/2011 (Hobart, Tasmania): {diam, 13.5%, A$28} Developing nose of tree branch, currants and herbs in a somewhat lean style. The struture is 'medium' across the board; weight, acid, grainy tannins, length. It's a touch raw and greenish on the palate, but it's balanced along the tongue. Not quite the step up from the 2004 I was hoping for, but it's consistent with Domaine A's rather herbal style of cabernet, which is not for everyone...
