CROSSROADS TALISMAN 09

Crossroads Talisman 09

$39.30 750 MLS
From Hawkes Bay the attractively-named 2009 Crossroads Talisman is the best ever released under this label. The winery plays this silly game of 'not telling' for the grape make-up, but the whole wine is soft and rich like a big merlot / syrah blend. It is a bit over-ripe and almost Napa Valley in style maybe, but it should cellar for 5 – 15 years, and provide some fun along the way. Geoff Kelly.

Made from an unspecified blend of grape varieties that change from year to year. Dense, brooding but accessible red with chocolate, plum, dark berry, licorice, mixed spice and dried fruit flavours. Complex and classy red. 94/100.

Easter weekend I flew up to Auckland and had a great time visiting family. I made sure I went to Maison Vauron, a must if you enjoy French wines and also Galbraiths to try a few craft beers.
