Community Tasting Note

Thursday, January 14, 2010 - Deep yellow straw coloured with an intense and developing nose of toasty vanilla oak aromas. Some stone fruit present, peach perhaps and a also honeydew melon.

The wine is dry with medium+ acidity and 13% alcohol. It is medium bodied with intense oak flavours that just overpower the lighter fruit flavours. Toast, smoke and vanilla dominate the oak flavours and the fruit struggles to break through these flavours. The finish is medium length.

The wine is clearly well crafted but, for me, the oak dominates far too much and does not integrate well.
