Community Tasting Note

Saturday, January 17, 2015 - Hunter Valley - 6 Cellar Doors (Hunter Valley): {cork, 12%, A$65} Essence of light currents, herbs, tobacco. Lightish palate which lacks a lot of concentration and depth, it’s still nicely structured with fine dusty tannins but presents a largely front-palate presence. The only cabernet I tasted all day; it’s hard to find the right context for this. Evidently the cabernet coped with all the 2012 vintage rain than the shiraz, which was a total washout. This is 86% cabernet, with malbec and PV the balance. It’s rather more old-world in style; the herbal quality to this never really leans to harsh unripeness though, despite what you might think from the alcohol level. Still, I doubt this will be a very long living Folly: drink before 2020 is my opinion.
