el cheapo oz red
I know it's only September, but this red gets my value for money wine of the
year award already. It's the Hardys Stamp of Australia Cabernet Sauvignon
2008 - I bought a dozen at around $AUD6.60 the 1 litre bottle.
The wine is a lovely robust melange of fully ripe berries, plums, sweet
vanillin American oak, mildly assertive tannins and a pleasant aftertaste.
Good on its own or with tucker and a stunner at the price. Some very
ordinary cask (bag in box) wines are dearer.
Cheers!
Martin
