Community Tasting Note

Dr S Likes this wine:

Friday, May 1, 2020 - A Wendouree that benefited from a night to breath and being poured into the proper glass. In a Riedel stemless last night, surprisingly showed signs of fading and a good medium-bodied palate but without the intensity expected of the vintage nor after tasting the potent, unevolved 15 Shiraz Malbec.

Tonight, all is as it should be, out of a big (pretentious) Riedel Cabernet glass. Great colour, very dark. Impeccable varietal nose. Cassis, currant, some Malbec jube/gum drop, tobacco, graphite, violets even. Barely any regional/house eucalypt. Profound and lovely.

A serious but elegant Cab palate. Red and black berries, tobacco tannin, mildly grippy/chalky but in balance with the depth of dark fruit, good length with a savoury lick on the finish. A blend for lovers of not only Wendouree or Clare blends, but Cabernet full stop. 20-30 years ahead, easy.
