Tuesday Blind Tastings

Tim Adams The Aberfeldy Shiraz 2000

Clare Valley, Australia

Price: $45

Rating: 95

Source: Cellar

Description: Slight browning on the rim. The nose gave mint and pepper. The palate was spicy and tight with sweet fruit that lingered on the tongue. This wine is already very appealing but has years of development left and should be revisited in 5 years time.

Tasting date: 31 May 2016
