The labelling is as sexy as ever – truly eye catching and looking like a smooth, black wine spaceship. Again however the juice in the bottle lets the whole package down.
Volatile, tarry and just a little meaty on the quite lean nose, the palate is raw, cooked and oaky, with bitter oak tannins to finish and no decent fruit to speak of. Another dud. 14.5
At 18 I started working in a small suburban bottleshop, largely to buy cheap beer. It was my first year of university, doing a degree that I didn't really like, and a liquor shop seemed like fun. Needless to say I discovered wine, my uni degree morphed into something completely different and wine/beer took over my life.
Almost twenty years later and I currently spend my days wearing many (wine) hats, mostly as a writer, presenter and marketer.
While wearing my writer cap I write features for the likes of National Liquor News, Gourmet Traveller WINE and the RAS plus I'm a Lifestyle FOOD channel wine expert. Read more about me here or get in touch to book your next wine event with me here.
