Community Tasting Note

mphatic Likes this wine:

Saturday, March 12, 2022 - Screwcap, 14.5% alc. Strong dark ruby/ red ink colour; still bright.

Reasonably subdued savoury nose of deli meats, dusty cupboard, blackberry and plum. Pan juices, vanilla, and star anise in the background.

While the nose comes across as quiet and tertiary, the wine explodes on the palate with rich, ripe, palate staining sweet fruit and oak that really fans out with powerful intensity. The tannins are always making themselves known; fine grained but plentiful and chewy on the finish. Acidity firm, and alcohol showing a little.

Opinion: Clearly a high quality wine; not a pretender like many. Though looked better on day 1 than day 3. Reassess in 3-4 years.
