Community Tasting Note

89 Points
Tuesday, November 8, 2016 - Seems like a polarising wine looking over reviews on other sites. Purple in the glass. Strong aromas of plums and spice on the nose. The palate is big and bold dark fruits, a spicey/peppery mid palate, some oak coming in at the end and solid tannins underpinning the whole thing. I drank this over two nights and didn't notice any dramatic degradation between the two. I have a bunch left, so will try one/year to see if cellaring helps
