Community Tasting Note

• Stoic Warrior Likes this wine: 89 points

  August 6, 2022 - Dark and dusky. I agree with many other reviewers who note a bit of funk amidst the fruit. Some complexity, but more muddy than identifiably discreet. Pleasant, and a good introduction to Clarendon (never had one of their wines before) but i understand other cuvees and vintages are better.

You will also see my review of their 2010 Brookman which we opened along side this 2011 Sandown. There were several of us, so each bottle did its duty on the day. Cheers.
