Community Tasting Note

• CAS wrote: 95 points

  May 28, 2007 - Opened it up and tasted it over a few hours. Medium garnet at the core and ochre at the rim. This bottle was in mint condition. Lovely nose - hint of barnyard was very evident ( my mum actually mentioned baby's nappies and she has never heard of this wine before). This led on to eucalyptus, red berries, mocha, herbs and spices. Very complex nose that developed new scents during the evening.
  
  On the palate it was very well balanced - hardly any tannins, good acid and very smooth with lots of ripe fruits, more herbs, gaminess, leather and now onto black fruits. The flavours were amazing and the finish was lingering like an old friend who would not go away.
  
  Wow - a top 5 wine for me - possibly the best after L'Evangile 90.
