40 YEAR OLD Lindeman’s - Still Ok?

In this episode we embark on a fascinating journey through time with two bottles of Linderman's St George Coonawarra wine. We're comparing a vintage 1985 bottle with a fresh 2021 one. The 1985 wine has an unusual brown colour? Hmm…  Will it still delight our senses, or has it gone over the hill? Thank you to Elkie for the 2021 Lindemans St George Cabernet Sauvignon  from the family run business Bayfields on Sydney’s Northern beaches. Go check them out and support local!

As we taste these wines, we reflect on the iconic events of 1985, from the release of "Back to the Future" to Madonna's Virgin Tour.
