Amazing aussie bargain

We have just released a small parcel of 2003 Tim Adams Clare Valley Cabernet, http://bit.ly/M1bz62 , to the Tesco Wine by the case website. This wine was bought in some time ago for a mixed case, but due to different pack sizes we had a bit of stock left over. As it was not meant to be sold by itself there is no product info, but let me tell you how good it is :
gorgeous maroon/brown colour (this beauty is almost 10 years old!), enticing aromas of blackcurrant and spices, full and complex in the mouth with a long, satisfying finish! Simply stunning!

I brought a bottle in for the team to try and all agreed this was very special and placed some orders themselves. Hurry and grab yourself the one of the bargains of the year at only £7:50 a bottle, £90 a case (case size is 12). This screwcapped wine is from the Clare Valley, with 14% alcohol and although classified as a Cabernet, it also has 10% Malbec and 4% Merlot.

Sounds good. Is it oaky as well?

Thanks for the tip Dirk (and more of these in future please). I have just used my £10 voucher from the latest Tesco Wine magazine to order a case and am really looking forward to tasting this!

This wine sounds great, so I ordered a case on Sunday to arrive on Tuesday..........ansd am still waiting for it. Shame as it was for a party I was having on Tuesday night and my daughter's Christening today. Currently on hold for 15 minutes trying to get through to Tesco wine for the third time this week.
