Community Tasting Note

93 Points

Wednesday, December 20, 2023 - Slightly weightier than last time out last year, starting out with a meaty (almost aged Syrah-like) nose, relaxing to paintbox, dried cranberries and roses.

The palate is really interesting - this has been a lightweight, savoury red-fruited affair for the previous 4 bottles of the case, but whilst it retains the ‘paintbox’ aspect with high acidity, the fruits are slightly darker with a vegetal (not really beetroot, but in that neighbourhood) profile. Acidic cherries on the finish.

At 15 this is still kicking on, and is worthy of further cellar time. Superb winemaking from Marcarini (I should add - again).
