Community Tasting Note

  July 11, 2022 - Solid cork, though damp to the very top. Good ruby red. A little woodsy on the nose - with some leather notes - but also delicately expressive of red berries. Complex on the palate. Nothing cedar on this bottle, though the leather is once again present. Some mint. Juicy texture to the fruit. Very red fruited for a Cabernet. Some acid still, giving freshness. Fully resolved tannins - barely perceptible now. Real elegance. Very good length. It was never a powerful wine - and it's precision and delicacy sits completely outside the norm for Australian wine of its time. This is really beautiful. At the beginning of a graceful decline, this is still in a very good place tonight. Bought in Mosman in Sydney at Vintage Cellars - about 1998. Will still keep - though the structural components are now quite slight.
