Tyrrells Old Winery Cabernet Merlot 2003 Wednesday, Apr 26 2006
Tasting Notes and Hunter Valley and Australia and McLaren Vale and Mudgee and Pyrenees and Alpine Valleys and Limestone Coast and Variety and Red and cabernet et al
I think this is a record for Winorama - McLaren Vale 67%, Mudgee 24%, Alpine Valley 4.6%, Limestone Coast 4.3%, Pyrenees 3.3%, Hunter Valley 2.3%.
Crimson red. Aromas of red berry, spice and a light smoky earthy character - a bit like a Graves actually. On the palate it is only medium bodied with red berry, blackcurrant and those earthy characters again. Dry sandy tannins and a palate cleansing dry, somewhat abrupt, finish with some alcohol warmth. This is a serviceable dinner claret style and I like it for that. You can’t really complain at the price either.

JP is currently in possession of it…somewhere on the sub-continent..and we traded the old one for a six pack of 98 Wynns John Riddoch…
