TamburlaineHunter Reserve Member's Cabernet Merlot 2006

Made by Tamburlaine in Australia (region: Hunter Valley) .

A dry, still, red wine with 13.7% alchohol tasted on 10th May 2008.

Grape: Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot

Quality: Okay

Value: A Little Excessive

Cost: Usually between $29.99 - $34.99.

Looks: Quite black, but medium bodied

Smells: Blackcurrants and some mint tones

Feels: Medium bodied

Tastes: The style of this wine is what I would like to see more of given the high alcohol wines Tamburlaine have produced on their other reds this year. Medium bodied, tightly wound, thin and zippy acids. The flavour profile does not quite back it up though - a little too minty, tannins a little too aggressive, and the finish unrefined. Close - but no cigar.

Possible retailers: Cellar Door.
