Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

Tuesday, March 1, 2022 - Screwcap, 14.5% alc. Youthful, dark, burgundy colour with quite a lot of purple. Very fine sediment.

Interesting nose of malty oak, licorice, blackberry, pan juices, a tiny hint of Band-Aid? Plum, coal.

Medium bodied with fine dusty tannins still plentiful. Fresh and refreshing, and the high alcohol is nowhere to be seen. Fruity and savoury at once; a very good food wine.

Opinion: I tend to think of this as a cheap wine that’s taking up room in the cellar, but every time I open one, I’m rewarded. Quality GSM blend. Some over–ripe/baked flavours after three days open, but still enjoyable. Heavy bottle!
