Community Tasting Note

Saturday, November 21, 2009 - Dark garnet colour. Faint fruit and graphite on the nose. Rather austere and flat taste with prominent tannins initially.This wine is dominated by the mineral/graphite flavour profile, with the fairly sharp, jarring tannins. not a great wine for with food, and perhaps past its prime - if it had any fruit it seems to have faded.
Over an hour or so, with food, the tannins softened a bit and a touch of cassis became evident, but the finish was still a bit harsh, puckering and short. Not really a wine to savour.
