Adinfern Cabernet Sauvignon 2003 Tuesday, Mar 27 2007
Tasting Notes and Australia and Margaret River and Variety and Red and cabernet et al
This has been in the bottle for over 3 years now. Perhaps this is a sign of the times - some people are doing it a bit tough. A lovely nose, showing red currants and black olives, a bit of tomato and tobacco leaf, with some capsicum. The palate displayed an engaging richness without being too sweet, with ripe blackcurrants, some tobacco and herbs, and a leafiness too. The length is good, and though there does seem to be a bit of green hardness on the finish, it is a very tidy wine at a good price.

..or they could be doing the right thing and releasing wines with an appropriate amount of bottle age.

I can’t see how $25/bt would cover that cost though.

What about $15 (or less) for 03 Philip?

Economies of scale.
In most cases I would say that a small winery just can’t afford to hold wine back.

Well. maybe they did not leave it in the cellar for that long….sounds more like leftovers from a rather bad vintage for cab sauv in Margaret River-exceptions included.Everybody including Moss Wood are having their next (here 2004) vintage outby now-normally- but they are still offering the 2003….
