Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, March 14, 2007 - Australia and Rhone at Haukeland Sykehus (Haukeland Sykehus, Bergen, Norway): Dark aromas on the nose. It is a bit too sweet and artificial for my taste. Licorice. The nose is like an Australian, rather intense but sweet. A bit pale on the front palate. Some pepper. Neither is it very long. This is disappointing.

In the glass it is gradually improving with air. After a little while it is showing more of both tannins and acidity. It is probably a good wine that is closed up right now and need some time yet before it should be drunk.

Had another glass after the tasting: Less sweetness on the nose. Lots of tannins and much more power on the palate. It has opened up a bit, but is still very young. Now it is very good, and will probably improve immensely from cellaring.
