  Dark cherry, smudge of strawberry, mushroom,
  Earthiness. Decent length. On the occasion of Mum’s 80th in honour of her 2012 Kiwi grandson.

  {screwcap, 13.5%} Brickish garnet. Quite perfumed nose; violets and roses and tar and some old mild dark cherry. Palate is washed out a bit, drying out, astringent. Dusty tannins. Fading fruit flavours, but without a lot of interest unfortunately. Still has some of that hard cherry fruit that so many Otago wineries offer. Not a charming wine, but seems to be channeling some of those hard old pommards. Auction buy, provenance unknown, could have been stored warmly, but it’s not overt especially. Just think it’s a bit too old for what it is. Pretty good if you’ve lived on thin burgs but lacks interest. Medium weight, medium acidity. Structurally it’s not too bad but wants for flavour.
