Adelaide Hills 15.0% Screwcap $12.99 Source: Sample
Another of the cleanskins on offer from Wine Experience. The 2008 vintage was a warm one in the Adelaide Hills and this wine displays the traits one would expect from such a year. It’s in the ultra-ripe spectrum.
Plum pudding, prunes and cherry jam hog the limelight, although there is a small amount of spice. The fruit seems a bit cooked and dead, the tannins are unyielding. All of this leads to a somewhat hollow aspect on the palate.
Not a wine for which I have any real fondness, even at the low price.
