Madfish Gold Turtle 2007 Tempranillo


Anyone reading this who's familiar with Hughesy's buying habits and recent changes therein will probably grasp my drift when I mumble something about not asking questions about the source of this little six pack.

It is, as it were, a secret, and despite Mr Halliday's less than enthusiastic comments on the wine, it's a secret I hope is repeated, since Hughesy devours regular batches of Chilli con carne and this rustic style goes very well in that company.

Not bad with pizza either...



Madfish Gold Turtle 2007 Tempranillo (4* $25 Wine Club $16) Savoury notes on the nose, leather and chocolate across the palate, nothing to make you sit up and take notice (no Wow Factor here, folks) but a pleasant, rounded style that goes well with a couple of LHoc staples. Sufficiently impressive to have me thinking of signing up for the (apparently no obligation) Wine Club...
