Community Tasting Note

Friday, April 17, 2009 - Pyrenees Wineries' Visit (Pyrenees, Vic): {cork, 13.5%} The Dalwhinnie is an altogether gentler creature, seeking to persuade where the [2001 Summerfield] Indulgence insists (did I hear David Jones say “I’d rather be seduced than raped”?). Still very aromatic, the bouquet is lifted with stewed, lightly jammy spiced red fruit, preceding a palate rich and intense, layered with fine tannins and discrete acid. It’s medium-full bodied, but with a relative elegance and balance which give it great length and persistence. A pleasure to taste. Remarkable that the same region in the same year could produce two wines so utterly different in character, and yet both are so memorable.
