Community Tasting Note

March 5, 2024 - 13.5% alcohol. CS 60%, M 30%, PV 10% in the vineyard according to Farr. From a half bottle, decanted an hour ahead; short cork of pretty good quality. The colour is medium to dark with minimal thinning at the edge of the rim.
The nose is a winning mix of dark berries and well integrated oak, with at times a small leafy component to enliven the proceedings (umm, might there be some CF in the mix after all?); it would be hard not to be wooed by this combination. In the mouth, the wine comes across as savoury, fresh and lively with very good mouthfeel. Only in the aftertaste do residual tannins cause a definite bitter note, which will hopefully resolve in time.
More open than what I was expecting at this early stage, but will benefit from another ten years in the bottle.2 people found this helpful 3,090 views
