Dan Murphy's Wine Panel

Cork closure is an interesting choice, at least for wines from our neck of the woods. Choc-malt and coffee oak, lavender, menthol, blackberry, redcurrant, licorice. It's a big wine, full bodied, with an attractive set of grainy tannin, but something of a bibulous one - carries a little too much alcohol for its own good. Attractive uptake of ripe fruit and decent length, but would love the flavour to be delivered with a degree less alcohol. Showy style. Good wine and all that, but a little tiring. Where's the refreshment and finesse?
