Community Tasting Note

95 Points

Friday, February 8, 2019 - Screwcap. 13.5%. Moderate yellow colour, not yet golden. Very rich expressive nose of roast nuts,grilled fruits, citrus elements robed in power and richness of oak lactones, a serious nose. Then the palate really shines. There is concentrated fruit that has integrated all the elements of acid/oak into a harmonious whole. It is rich with fruit depth, citrus elements married to lees components and a long finish. I have carped over many a stripped out chablis wannabe australian chardonnay - this is the real deal, matching Burgundy at its best. A 15 year wine under screwcap I suspect. A tour de force and scored appropiately.
Tighter, more minerally and grapefruit flavour on prolonged standing - choose your point of entry.
