An Australian wine review to share...

Very unlike my style to blog about an australian wine. However, since I came across this particular bottle of Australian red, why not share my experience ya?

A rather unique description was actually attached to this bottle as follows:
"Serpico was a famous NY police officer in the 70's who wasn't afraid to "work against the grain" and in doing so exposed the immense depth of police corruption in the era. With Mitolo Serpico we aim to step outside out peers and redefine the accepted style of Australian wine."

Hmm...so what has been stirred within you after reading the description? Will it be a bottle that will be able to get your curiosity aroused? If you're still in the midst of your hestiation, allow me to being you through some insights (probably biased insights though)...

A 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon McLaren Vale-thin in texture. However, I wouldn't see it as a good thing here because what was brought along with the thin texture, was a superficial finish. No in depth emotions was found. The mild spice that landed on my taste-buds subsided and left me like in a split-second moment. Savouring it seems like an unexpected request to be made. All in all, the tannin while light enough to serve for casual chit-chats, it just didn't meet the standard to add colours to the session.
