Community Tasting Note

  • BeadyJay wrote: 91 points

    September 9, 2019 - Light, clear, maturing colour. Initially, a rather subdued CF nose, with evidence of oak but not intrusively so. Over quite a short time, the aromatics develop and fill out to deliver a heady scented hit.
    Lightish on the palate too, despite the oak. There is a touch of bitterness which may come from the oak and which I'd prefer to be more integrated, but that may well come with patience.
    Surprised to see this comes in at 13.5% - I'd have thought it was 13% at most.
    Drinking well, may yet improve a little and certainly no rush.
