Community Tasting Note

  May 6, 2017 - I've been saving this bottle for about six and a half years, but pulled it out to celebrate Aussie Wine Month in May. Though we were initially worried when the cork disintegrated on opening, a little wine sieve and everything worked out fine, which turned out to be helpful given all the good sediment that's accumulated here. This wine is extraordinarily dark purple in color, with truly juicy black fruit and a little heat in the nose. Sweeter than expected, raspberry on the palate makes for a much more fruit-forward wine than what you'd expect from something aged for eleven years (drinking with us, my grandfather's contribution was "all wine is fruity, it's made out of grapes"). May 2017 is definitely the time to drink the 2006 if you've not already done so, and there's absolutely no need to decant at this point.
