Lovedale, Jacaranda and Moss Wood
Posted: Wed Oct 15, 2003 8:05 pm
TN Tried a 1984 Lovedale Semillon last night and was disappointed. Not quite flabby but close to it. Very light citrus although what flavour there was did last on the palate.
Tried a 96 Orlando Jacaranda Ridge next. Lovely chocolate and liquorice flavours. Very thick full flavoured mouth feel but unfortunately died immediately on the palate. No length at all.
Next was a Moss Wood Pinot 1997. Far more flavour and great length but tasted more like a Grenache than a pinot.
