Community Tasting Note

  • discoduckglue wrote: 95 points

    October 28, 2013 - Popped and poured.

    Nose - Steel, graphite, gluey jubey blue and purple fruit, fig, eucalyptus.....very minor candied orange, deep heat rub and more aspects that I can't quite nail. Complex.

    Palate - mid weight but rich with a lot of length and a little tannin and acid rounding it nicely. Cool on the palate with a nice soft glycerol mouth feel. Palate matches the nose with a little aniseed as well. Cranberry and cream aftertaste....gorgeous.

    Reminds of me of a young 2004 Edelstone. Something I think I mentioned last time round?

    Seriously good quality wine.
