Community Tasting Note

Saturday, July 11, 2015 - Relatively youthful claret-red colour of decent depth. Not much age showing at the rim.

Spicy & wood/smoke edged on the nose, but with rich fruit sitting below. Swirling brings it into a more appealing balance.

Still some structure on the palate with firm acidity and residual yet still grippy tannins. Lither red fruits still in good shape and some aged complexity emerging. Overall not a big wine, though the remaining structure still makes it a little tight. Must have been quite a beast 5-10 years ago.

The future? Still good prospects and I might hold off opening another for a couple of years.
