The evidence of a wet vintage drag its muddy feet through this wine. But let's look past all that and see it for what it is, a decent wine which is often discounted to around the $10 mark.
Grilled capsicum aromas, the wine came across with a stalky characteristic and perhaps a little green. A touch of oak in the shadows, some blackcurrant and plum fruits come forward. Above average length was pleasing to see.
Over a couple of hours the wine continued to grow. Worth a look and like all Y Series wines they demonstrate good varietal characteristics.
