Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, March 16, 2011 - Australian Gem Tasting (Smith & Wollensky - Washington, DC): Let me start off saying this, this WILL be a great wine. Is it a great wine today? No. Just far too young. Incredibly dense nose of black fruit, rich spice and meat. The palate had a lot of class to it with subtle cassis, hints of black cherry, leather, subtle cherry tobacco, and animal hide. Sadly, these flavors were hopelessly woven together so tightly that they only peaked out from behind their massive wall of tannin. I think that this wine had the composition to land in the 93-96 range (for my palate).
