Community Tasting Note

  • Milliontown wrote: 88 points

    May 23, 2020 - Strong cork here. Decanted one hour. Fair bit of sediment. Some light bricking but still ruby red core to it. Transparent too.
    Some leafy/green notes upfront, bit of oak spice, and a bit of a feral undergrowth/mushroomy aroma in there. Sort of a musty old cupboard thing, the way old Aussie reds go sometimes. Some white pepper / beetroot / blood plum notes emerge with time. Palate is quite lithe and transparent, acidity is borderline shrill though. It's quite piercing after a while and really needs food. I feel like the fruit has faded away somewhat leaving a bit of a skeletal structure. Still kind of hanging on. I don't see the brett others have pointed out. I thought it was kind of enjoyable still, maybe more in an academic sense.
