Community Tasting Note

Sunday, December 21, 2014 - The wine is clear and bright with a medium ruby colour. The nose is clean and developing, showing medium intensity aromas of red fruit (ripe strawberries, red currants), black fruit (dark cherries) and pungent spices (liquorice, black pepper). The wine is dry in the mouth with a medium acidity. It has medium(+) fine-grained tannins and a medium(+) alcohol. It has a medium(+) body and medium(+) intensity flavours of ed fruit (ripe strawberries, red currants), black fruit (dark cherries) and pungent spices (liquorice, black pepper). The finish is medium.

It is a good quality wine. It has a remarkable fruit concentration, but the finish could be longer. The tannins are well-balanced by the alcohol and the fruit concentration, however the wine could be more aromatically complex.

Can drink now, but it has enough tannic structure to be kept for 1-2 years, albeit it is unlikely to develop more complexity.
