Community Tasting Notes 2

  March 2, 2024 - First of three, would say it is just entering the window with years left in the tank
  Sublime length, fine structural tannin keeping everything tidy, dare I say it but quite Neb like
  Sensational, cant wait to see where this goes, next one in 3 years or so

  June 19, 2021 - I’ve been waiting a while to taste this wine and it did not disappoint, ethereal sums it up up as does 98 points
  
  I am borrowing a description from Wine Experience here
  
  It has power as expected from a Blewitt Springs Grenache, but it seems weightless and literally seems to float on the palate like a well made Burgundy. It’s sexy, incredibly seductive with an almost haunting like delicacy and the kind of fine airy structure you usually only see in top-flight Barolos or Burgundies.
  
  there’s a minerality to it with absolutely no excessive oakiness, heat, sweetness or jamminess. There’s none of that. I’d almost call it ethereal in its subtlety yet there’s quiet strength and power with incredible length and very fine tannin.
  
  This will age very well, and although beautiful to drink now, I’d advise a good decant if cracking it today!
  
  I can only speculate how beautiful this wine will be if left to brood few a few more years in a dark place. CR
