Modern winemaking techniques and economic pressures normally mean that most wines we see in the local bottlo tend to be out of balance.
Horror! Most wine makers will seriously get cranky with me but give some of these over tannic monsters time to settle will show a soft and delicate pussy cat. And so why do we put up with this situation?
Alas it is pure economics with most winemakers and retailers looking for cash, turning over stock. For those with the patients and good cellars will know the joy of balanced elegant wines.
Today I had the pleasure of tasting 3 great old Hunter reds from the icons; Tyrells and MtPleasant. Not the big fruit bombs of the Barossa, just fine elegance.
