Community Tasting Note

  • Millennial Drinkers wrote: 94 points

    April 3, 2024 - Last wine at De Toren and in the Icon Tasting. Made up entirely of Shiraz. Aged in 200% new French oak barrels for 24 months, 12 months and then again for 12 months. Tasting was via coravin.

    Deep purplish red. Still a baby, quite savory on the nose with dried meats and wood chips, almost like raw oak. Medium plus tannins (7/10) with a medium plus to full body. This will definitely beef up with time. Tons of blackberries on the palate with a bit of bacon fat, mocha and caramel. Long and lingering finish. Drink from 2028 till 2048. (94+)
