Return to Aus; 6/23/2019-7/5/2019 (Adelaide, South Australia wine regions, Tassie, Yarra, etc.): No detailed note here as we consumed it with dinner. Opened and decanted for probably close to an hour. This was prob a bit closer to the intense Aussie style than not although it had really come into itself with the time in the decanter. Darker fruit. More almost chewy style tannins. It was enjoyable. Really needed a big meat dish to balance.

Dark purple. Nose of red and black fruit, bonbon, ripe but a bit foresquare. Lots of raspberry and strawberry on the palate, added a bit more aromas of earth 1h after opening. Nice but a touch too sweet for me.

Kaesler tasting (United Cellars, 100 William Street, Sydney): Slightly cheesy, funky, meaty notes…not out of condition, a little hollow in fact, muted black berry and currant fruit, lightly spiced. With time cream, chocolate, vanilla and slightly rubbery notes with time. In the mouth the wine is quite juicy and savoury with concentrated black fruits and plain chocolate notes then slightly chalky and course, drying tannins and a certain coolness to the palate from rather a lot of alcohol. Hmm to Meh for me. it's a bit out of whack.

Pretty good. Probably should have saved it a bit longer, to try it in another year or so...

Big and bold but perhaps a bit bitter
