TN: 1993 Lindemans Shiraz Cabernet Limestone Ridge Vineyard

1993 Lindemans Shiraz Cabernet Limestone Ridge Vineyard - Australia, South Australia, Limestone Coast, Coonawarra (7/6/2009)
This one showed a bit long in the tooth. The aromatics went back and forth between enjoyable/intriguing and annoying. With the mineral, animal and ripe fruit elements I found enjoyment but it was blanketed with the VA. On the palate was very big and tart. The wine came off as a bit odd on the finish. What I perceived as VA. Outside of the distractions we did enjoy the wine but I think its best days were probably 5+ years ago. With the price, I probably just grabbed this because of its 94 WA score. I think I drank some bottle on release but I kept no notes. (87 pts.)

Cheers,

Jason

I drank my last of these four years ago and thought that it was an over ripe mess.

Well it was a nice price but I am glad I didn’t grab more. Thanks for the info.
