Community Tasting Note

90 Points

Tuesday, July 11, 2017 - 13% ABV

Dark ruby red with red hue.

I almost labelled this Chablis a generic straight forwarded table wine after the first glass with predominantly red fruit and not much else..

3.5 hours later on with the second glass, wow! what a transformation.. There's nice savoury white peppery tomato coming through with dried fig and slight leather and sandlewood.

Medium fruited, medium bodied, medium tannins and acidity and medium + length.

Actually quite enjoyable and a pleasant surprise..
