  Phil's impromptu tasting fun (Phil's place, Putney, Sydney): From Coravin. Initially cellar stink/wet clay which blows off revealing ripe black fruits, sweet spice, a little black liquorice and burnt twigs (?), wet dog. Medium plus intensity acidity almost feels adjusted, black fruit, alcohol warmth, tannins are woody flavoured but silky and persistent, all travels long but it's a little too 'big' for me. Time may help.

  A rich dark brick red color. Still youthful in apprearance. This was quite open tonight and full of cherry and wild red berries. Still some oak influence but it was more integrated and showed well. On the palate this has impressive vibrancy and a chewy texture with fine tannins and noticeable dry extract on the mid palate that I found quite appealing. Decent length in the finish. It’s best showing yet and still quite young. This may all come together. Certainly plays at premier cru level in my opinion.

  From memory. Dark and savory. A bit more oak influence than is my style but this is well made a quite good. Drinking well.

  A blood red, with just a touch of orange/browning but still quite ruby and transculent color. Some signs of age on edges. Nose of ripe dark cherry and red berries. Initially the fruit dominates, but as it opens in the glass I get notes of spices and something savory as well. And then spearmint. A bit oaky. On the palate, a nice silky texture and ripe but tart cherry and red berry and plum flavors. Again the oak here is a bit heavy. The acidity is still quite high and maybe slightly out of balance (just stands out as opposed to being more integrated despite the ripe red fruit). The tannins are similarly quite high, but they are ripe and well integrated. Good concentration and almost a bit sappy on the mid palate and finish. A long lingering finish with power but nice refreshing minerality. Slightly drying but very balanced on the finish. Very good material for a village wine and in a nice place, but still quite primary and could see continued development.
