April 13, 2023 - Yes time for a big red and maturing one from this Great Small Winery in QLD's best keep secret area and its Friday night Steak night too.
I note many of my followers here have picked up wines from this great producer esp. threw Wine Auctions were there was many bargains over the last few years.Good Luck to them keep up good work .
Anyway on opening we have
Still a black core in colour with a still black purple rim at April 2023.
Amazing for its age and i note being in a screw cap helps with this slow aging process.Well done
Tannat is a variety used in the great Cahors District of France were again produces big rich tannic wines .
I hope the new owners of this winery keep up the vision from previous owner Peter stark who made this wine.
On the nose now we have maturing black fruit flavours of blackcurrants with tobacco and plumbs and still nice integrated new vanilla oak showing which you expect at this age of 10yrs and ready to enjoy for certain. Nice
On the palate we have maturing black fruits showing upfront , medium bodied mid palate sweetness still and lovely maturing long oily tannins giving very good long finish . Excellent and ready ..Perfect with rare beef and herb sausages best.
QPR $35 if you can find still. Qld's best Winery as nothing comes close and i live in this state.J Halliday was always a great fan too as he saw the sheer quality from low yields and the cool climate Granite belt has.114 views
