Community Tasting Note

Saturday, December 11, 2021 - Impenetrable blackish purple red in color with a clear watery edge. A profoundly deep and aromatic nose of ripe blue with lots of cedar, tobacco, earthy, meaty overtones. The palate of this 12 year old Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon is medium full-bodied, medium-intensity, fairly well-structured, with quite a bit of residual tannins and refreshing acidity that accompanies the punchy fruit. The flavor profile includes, savory fruits such as dark cherries, black currants, and blackberries with a secondary layer of gamey meat, herbs, cedar, tobacco, light but notable vanilla cream, earthy element, all complexly ends with a slightly savory and protracted finish. As good as it is now, this wine is still in its infancy. I would reckon that this wine would continue to develop and improve with at least another 6 - 8 years or perhaps longer in the right conditions in cellar. A truly beautiful and very well made wine. Will revisit tomorrow, I suspect that this will be better. Day 3 Update: Sure enough, it's drinking even better tonight after 72 hours in the ref since initial opening or "the twisting the screw cap" closure of this bottle.
