Community Tasting Note

Derek Darth Taster Likes this wine:

Friday, April 24, 2015 - Free-flow Wagyu Beef Dinner and drinks (EN Dining Bar + Pine Close): Pop and poured.
Appearance is clear, deep intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
Nose medium+ intensity, with aromas of damp earth, smoky grilled meat, barnyard/horse stable/furry wild animal, spiced herbs and black pepper, licorice, dark black fruit, olive tapenade. Very complex nose. No doubt there is a Brett element here. Developing.
On the palate, dry, medium acidity, medium+ alcohol, medum+ tannins, full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of grilled smoky meat, dark damp earth, leather, pepper, olive tapenade, dark redcurrant, black cherry, and a deep sweet core of licorice. Long finish.
Very good quality. Nice early drinking from the difficult 2008 vintage. Can still develop a bit more over the next 3-4 years.
The kind of wine for lovers of Brett and open-minded individuals.
