Community Tasting Note

Friday, May 27, 2016 - {cork 14%} Garnet with a touch of brick. Surprisingly reticent nose, although it opened up with time. A longer decant would probably have helped; this was done just prior to drinking. The bouquet is prettily floral, with a little spice. The 'little oak' has rarely been so obvious as here. The palate is just medium-bodied, with soft red fruits and only some development evident. Doesn't really seem twenty I must say. But fairly low key, despite the even balance on the palate. Gentle low level tannins, medium acid. Only a medium length finish. Part of me suspects this needs another decade to truly shine. Another part of me is ever-so-slightly disappointed.
