Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, May 3, 2023 - S$100-$150 open theme: So dark in colour with high alcohol and extracted fruit. My first instinct was a 2005 right-bank but once it was revealed to be a non-Bordeaux, it was obvious that this was a Oz Shiraz from the same period. Couldn’t have been a new-world Cab with the lack of greenness, and plummy notes - the slate of new-worlds tasted last Saturday helped me out here. Not my style but drinkable.

From the other wines only El Enemigo Chard didn’t hit the mark but that was an extra.
