Community Tasting Note

Friday, August 31, 2018 - Coravin fun - new arrivals (My place, Kent Street): From Coravin. After carefully wiping away the detritus of the previous 46 years cellaring the cork top proved to be reasonably pristine (though the entire appeared fully saturated). On the nose an almost ethereal, filigree blackcurrant note with old saddle leather, mushrooms, dusty spice shelf and dry farmhouse. On the palate the wine is juicy to the point of sharpness but by no means volatile, the ghost of talc-textured tannic burr on the tongue and a little warmth on the finish. Flavours are as the nose. Fully mature and to be consumed soon...
