Community Tasting Note

    October 28, 2023 - It had been a while since I had last drank this wine. I did not keep it well, but somehow it held well, despite losing some flavours and becoming a little cooked.
    Such a pitty. I thought I had evolved beyond these “commercial” wines, I was not going to like it. But I did. I liked even more because the name is well picked - this is truly a chocolate block.
    The syrah is explored here to its fullest, bringing out all that chocolate straight into your nose and then your mouth. The rest of the grapes and the ageing in oak barrels soften the blow, creating a tannic, yet pleasant wine to drink.
