  Oh what a bottle - memories from the cellar door, some gorgeous fruit, but also disappointment and unrealised potential. The nose is gorgeous, slightly sweet black fruits with just a touch of violets, olive and oak spice. Rather dark and robust meniscus too. The palate shows very lovey fruit, just a touch of blueberry sweetness, but not jammy or confected - think the more elegant side of McLaren Vale. Unfortunately things start to unwind. Not a terrible amount of depth of complexity beyond this point and the structure is utterly absent. Acidity is ok, but the near lack of tannin gives this a very flabby feel. Each sip brings substantial pleasure from the fruit, with disappointment on the finish. Clealry we still had fun drinking this as the hope that things might knit together over the two hours of drinking led to an empty bottle, but it's not one to keep.

  Pleasant fruit flavor, mild aroma. Balanced acidity. Lacks depth, seems one dimensional. Lacks complexity. Better on day 2.
