Community Tasting Note

    November 22, 2016 - A ridiculous, boozy mess. Less like a wine than a cocktail, one with lots of cassis and white rum. There's a massive amount of oak, plus flavours of vanilla essence, muddled blackberry, and hints of peach and lychee. There's a decent acid/tannin structure underneath all the alcohol. Not a balanced wine, but a very enjoyable one.
