Weird. Like the sangiovese from last night this is much more overtly fruity that and the previous tasting from 6 months ago. Thankfully has some prunes and minor stink to give the wine some varietal legitimacy but the upfront fruit is a minor challenge. Some astringency right throughout.

Pleasantly mature and perhaps just starting to lose its primary fruit edge. Some tang, almost brett-like, but the prunes are there. All-in-all this in good nick for a 7yr, particularly from Victoria.

On tasing at the cellar door: The wine was a real mouth filler. Initial earthy character were replaced by rich plums and a hint of spice. Lovely drop for $12.55 per bottle!
