Community Tasting Note

  • rikipedia Likes this wine: 90 points

    May 21, 2018 - Deep black-garnet to the rim
    Youthful nose with fresh red & black fruits. Especially as nine years old.
    A savoury palate with a gravelly texture, quite an expansive wine yet has density and feels solid. Plenty of pepper, ripe black cherries, black raspberry with a hint of spice. The tannins are fine and powdery and there is the power to match many CNP. Lovely flesh coats the mid-palate; there is concentration and a reasonably long finish. Not a charming wine as such but stocky and sturdy.
