Posted on 12. Jan, 2010 by Erin in Australia, Tasting

Straight out of the old tasting book, first impressions of the fly…

Tasting Note: Rosemount — 2001 GSM

Country: Australia
Region: South Australia
Producer: Rosemount  Estates
Blend: 48% Grenache, 45% Shiraz, 7% Mourvedre

Closure: Cork
Price: ~$35.00 (CDN) at purchase

-Still a deep brick red.  Surprisingly dark in a flight of younger wines.

Nose: wow, what the hell is that awesome smell?  Very floral, carnations, orange blossoms, oddly white-like in profile.  Red berries under there somewhere.

Palate: So cool.  Cherry, sour patch kids (awesome acidity).  Tannin elevated but okay and integrated.  Still rich, thick and very complex.  Got it! Swedish berries and adult cherry kool-aid.

Erin’s Rating: Repeat Offender
