Community Tasting Note

Sunday, November 26, 2023 - Pretty good. Decanted for 2.5 hours or so before drinking, this felt just in the cusp of being ready. It has a nicely approachable of cassis, earth and graphite flecked with just the tiniest hint of eucalyptus and spice. The palate was rich and supple. It still had a bit of a bite from bright acidity and firmish tannins, but the structure was clearly beginning to soften and round up, integrating nicely with moreish flavours of cassis and plums patted down with some earth, and then a subtle blush of green herb and spice at a decent finish. I thought it felt just a tad drying on the back palate. There was a bit of the eucalyptus in this that spoke to the wine’s antipodean origins, otherwise this was a nicely polished international styled Cabernet. I thought it lacked a bit of character, but otherwise a very sound, quite yummy drop. Drinkable now after a longish decant, but will be even better in 5-6 years.
