Community Tasting Note

Thursday, February 17, 2011 - Casual night @ Giant Garoupa: Opps, very strange or rather too hot as the wine display burn tyre smell which masked over the dusty earthy, roasted herb, green capsicum, meaty and blackberry aromas. This too has rich, sweet entry with highly extract oak, powdery tannin with alcohol heat along with jammy dark fruits, dark chocolate, coffee with very bitter, alcohol heaty finish. This has very good weight on the palate but somehow kinda imbalance and acidity for the lift and precision, perhaps due to this super hot vintage. My friend who tried this bottle next day commented that the wine showing much better, turn from a beast to a gentleman. Tannin resolved and it's more balanced but acid a bit low, still a bit hot. Buy - No.
