Community Tasting Note

93 Points

Thursday, December 13, 2007 - Popped at home with AR. Quite tight and cedary at first, this doesn't even begin to resemble the last time I had this wine (where it was much more lush and Aussie in character). Not much of the heavy toast espresso but a rather 'cool' and aloof aspect to the fruit. The class and finesse here are obvious, taut, clean, quite beautiful. Not big points from me at this stage, and this seems to be trapped between primary and secondary right now, but I was still glad for a chance to give this a try. I would opt for 1999 or 2001 for current drinking pleasure instead of this.
