Bloodwood Tasting Notes

These notes, which also appear in the Tastings section of the site, are grouped together here for easy reference.

Big Men in Tights 2010

Bloodwood 2009 Big Men in Tights (4* $16) Almost luminous, and the nose has plenty going for it. Length on the palate and a solid, earthy style. Will be back for more.

Bloodwood 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon (4.5* $25) Elegant style that balances savoury notes, berry fruits and fine tannins to deliver a lengthy finish. Definite reorder material.

Bloodwood 2009 Chardonnay (4.5* $27) Clear pale yellow in the glass, citrus notes on the nose and peaches and grapefruit across the palate and definite varietal character this is an impressive new style Oz Chard that'll be on the reorder list on a semi-permanent basis. 

Bloodwood 2006 Maurice (5* $30) Deeply hued in the glass, complex berry and chocolate notes on the nose, savoury oak lurking in there as well, silky tannins running all the way along the palate. Sampling this made the perfect conclusion to the tasting session, since I don't think there's anything on the premises that could follow it. We'll be having at least one of the current vintage in each subsequent order.
