Yarra, Mornington, Geelong wine tour day four (Geelong): Slightly ripe black plummy fruit, touch of ashy whole bunch, alcohol prickle then takes over and proves quite intrusive on the nose. Medium plus intensity acidity, plum and black fruits havae a touch of sourness, tight woody tannins offer plenty of textured grip, smidge of alcohol warmth on the finish.
