Community Tasting Note

BottleScholar Likes this wine:

Saturday, April 29, 2023 - A year or two of additional age made a big beneficial difference. Deep ruby color. M+ aromatic intensity. Pronounced flavor intensity. M+ to High complexity. The nose is more old-world than new, which is a good thing for me. Garrigue, dark red cherry, black cherry, blackberry, black cherry, licorice root, menthol, sandalwood, toast, eucalyptus, black pepper. Unique for Australia, the eucalyptus is there, but not in-your-face, especially in a blind tasting. I find black pepper when looking due to the variety, but not as prominent. Similarly, I'm not getting the blueberry-boysenberry jam as a marker for the variety. A delicious wine without the typicity of the variety or the region. This producer has continued to evolve its wines in a nuanced and subtle way. M+ acid. M+ finish. Very good. Suitable for aging. It improved significantly with around two years of age, and likely will continue to improve for the next 8-10 years.
