2009 Parker Coonawarra Estate First Growth
Community Tasting Note
Jason Wu Likes this wine:
Monday, December 21, 2020 - Appearance: medium ruby
Nose: Medium plus intensity; aromas of eucalyptus, vanilla, toast, dark plum, ripe dark cherry, menthol, cedar, nutmeg, cloves, licorice. It’s developing.
Palate: dry, high acidity, high tannins, high alcohol, full body, medium plus flavour intensity, blackcurrant, cassis and dark chocolate come through. The finish is medium plus.
Overall, it’s a very good wine. Can drink now, has potential for further ageing.
Still quite tight to drink now, especially the tannins are not fully integrated yet (fine grained though) after 2 hours decanting. Will assess when it opens up later or day 2.
On day 2, the wine has opened up and presents nice mushroom, subtle truffle and savoury/meaty characters. Very delightful, yet a little bit homogeneous for a truly great wine.
