Community Tasting Notes 3

  November 29, 2022 - Left Bank Bordeaux and some Aussies: Brightly fruited with a hint of green capsicum on the nose. Midbodied, on opening this was fairly drying and short, however with air some sweet blackcurrant fruits and mint notes emerged. Tasted alongside a bracket of left bank Bordeaux, the sweetness of the fruit was highlighted. General consensus was that the wine was at a peak. (W)

  January 13, 2021 - Immediately upon opening I was surprised at how developed the wine smelled... all tobacco, oak, chocolate ... much of the fruit gone and it was more secondary characteristics that gave it some interest. The colour was also very dark and brooding. It drank well with a steak but would suggest it's definitely a food wine. Not going to get any better I'd guess.

  February 18, 2011 - 2011 Sydney Royal Wine Show - Exhibitor's Tasting (Olympic Park, Homebush): Bronze medal {screwcap} There’s some development here, among the herbal spicy nose. Smells like there’s plenty of cab franc here, but that’s just a guess… On the palate, the flavours are rather twiggy, but in an authentically bordeaux-blend way; it’s medium-bodied, with medium chalky tannins. It’s rather lean generally, with a very low-voltage palate and worst of all, a rather disappointing short finish. A bronze medal was getting away with it, I reckon.
