Community Tasting Notes 5

  September 30, 2018 - Super provenance. Essentially direct from Tyrrells to Margan's Restaurant. Never left the Hunter Valley. No ullage. Cork barely stained.
  Strained into a decanter. Slightly cloudy appearance, but this was forgiven. The nose is immediately appealing - savoury, some red fruits lingering, dried herbs, leather. Not a hint of Brett at all. It's light bodied, but there's finesse and enough intensity here to please. And the balance. Wonderful experience.

  July 20, 2005 - Complex nose of leather, pepper, cherry and earth. The palate is savoury and really lengthy. Delicious and right at its peak.

  May 14, 2005 - Another bottle from my generally disappointing stash of 1991 Tyrrells Vat 9 Shiraz (Hunter). I'm more convinced than ever that this bottle has had some exposure to great heat during it's life. It's an 'Aged Release' bottle that I purchased in '97, so there's a good 1-2-year window between Tyrrell's cellar and mine. This was very similar to the last 2 bottles - a dried-out, seriously bretty palate follows a metallic/medicinal nose. No tannin, short finish; drinkable but not interesting or satisfying at all. Like to try a bottle from another source one day just to compare. Dem's the breaks, I guess.
