Community Tasting History

Community Tasting Notes (average 92 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 2 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by chatters on 9/11/2023: Oatley trade Tasting (Campbell's store, Circular Quay West, The Rocks, Sydney): Slightly reductive, red hued plums, white pepper but still with a little concentration. Juicy, savoury, slightly dilute, medium minus intensity but quite chalky tannins, Meh. (348 views)
 Tasted by Gavin Sutherland on 1/4/2022 & rated 92 points: It’s powerful. Black Forest gateaux flavours, a little smokiness, black pepper, cinnamon, herbaceous notes. It needs time to settle and for the tannins to relax. It’s never gonna be the best shiraz you have but it’ll improve in time (687 views)
