Community Tasting Note

Sunday, January 22, 2017 - So it has been 12 months since I gave this wine a small belting. I checked it over the hours as it sat in the decanter and tannin structure moved from puckering to dry to starting to soften and then rounding out. Finish improved in length as time went on. Being a Sunday night 6 hrs in I gave up and started drinking, dont want to be too hungover for Monday at the pickle factory.
Anyway, its appearance does show typical age characteristics but it is still remarkably young for its age and price point. McLaren Vale purple fruit over herbaceous, over time it moved from savoury to slightly lush, Viognier gives it that sparkle of elegance, however it is still quite drying yet strangely enjoyable. Have warmed to this immensely and am a tad annoyed I have only one more left. Truely one of our better steals at the approx RRP $30. Try again mid 2018, more time needed. Almost a 92....
