Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, April 12, 2016 - Rich dark garnet in glass, rich plums, cassis, soft powdery dark earth, mossy. Somewhat quiet with first pour, but blooms with after an hour or so, revealing violets, dark roses and hints 5-spice.
Palate, while aged, is still developed with exotic roast meat spices - cumin, galangal, tumeric, along with deep dark prunes, black plums, earthy, cigar box, cedar shavings, sweet roasted capsicum, christmas cake. Meaty leathers, licorice, and hints angelica root, and even a tinge of eucalypt menthol just for terroir. Quite likely peaked, but still drinking very well, luscious and certainly intact, now showing somewhat more transparency and aged gosssamer textures than previous bottles - like a superhero who has aged well. Special, and emotionally satisfying (survived the shock move from Syd to Sg 12 months ago).
