Do you buy wine based on Scores? Or Style? I suggest that
people should buy the style that they like and forget about scores as food and
wine matches are more important than quality. Take last night for example I
served an Asian style dish that was spicy and high in acidity. I had a
Shiraz open from the
night before so I thought I would give it a go next to a glass of rizza. The
Shiraz couldn’t compete
with the spice and the acidity at all but the rizza shone like a superstar. The
wine below would work well with a variety of dishes including meat, vegetarian
lasagne and share platters.
The wine starts out slightly confected but then turns into
bold blackberries, blood plums and top quality bbq meats sizzling away of the
hot plate. The wines from 2009 from McLaren Vale look really good at the moment
but will keep for ages in the cellar. Now the savoury characters take a day to
emerge from the bottle but the oak has already vanished into the background.
Yum.
