Community Tasting Note

  • Derek Darth Taster wrote: 94 points

    January 7, 2015 - First Big Wine night of 2015 (Extra Space): Aired in decanter for about an hour+. Tasted blind
    Appearance is clear, deep intensity, garnet colour. Legs.
    Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of earth, cedarwood, blueberry, blackberry, dark cherry, blackcurrant. Developing.
    On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium+ alcohol, firm medium+ tannins, full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of tobacco, earth, sweet capsicum, blackcurrant, blackberry, dark cherry. Long finish.
    Very good quality. Nice to drink now, but can still improve a bit more with more integration over the next 2-3 years.
    Felt very Bordeaux-like, with a more ripe edge to it than most. Clearly Cabernet Sauvignon dominant.
    65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc.
