“95 Points. Northern Tasmania had a dream run of warm, dry weather over the last three months of ripening. The extraordinarily bright colour sets the antennae waving, and the palate is equally good. It’s an exercise in purity, all red fruits (cherry, strawberry et al.) with spices waiting to add their impact a few years down the track. And by the way, it wasn’t besmirched by oak. $28. 13% alc.
