Winetastic

My search for a good Australian wine in the UK continues and has led me to explore what Lindemans have to offer in their bin series.

A vibrant crimson in colour the 2006 Bin 50 shiraz has an appealing nose of rich berries, vanilla and subtle spices. A fairly full-bodied wine, the palate is bursting with red and dark berries, and subtle chocolate and liquorice. This shiraz has a good length to it, soft tannins and a creamy rich finish, with a hint of spice.

This is an easy drinker and a general crowd pleaser. Drinking now, it would be well suited to a beef or game dish, or perfectly acceptable on it’s own.

Score: 82
Price: I paid the equivalent of $16
Closure: Screwcap
Alcohol: 13.5%
Other Opinions: Winorama, Lindemans
Would I buy this wine again? This is a good wine, but not a great wine. Not bad value for money, I might be tempted to go another bottle or two whilst still in the UK.
