Community Tasting Notes 2

  December 24, 2019 - {screwcap, } Lemon-gold colour. Some brown straw on the nose, but mostly smokey aromas. The monochrome palate follows; it’s all smoke and dust, with a thick texture. Medium length finish, yes, but not of any interest. Honestly, I doubt this has much future. No fires in the Hunter 2011 vintage, and no oak in this either; dunno where the smoke is coming from.

  August 13, 2018 - {screwcap, 12.5%} Lindemans semillon. There's some history there. This is a bit more prosiac, however. It's a bright, quite deep yellow; looking at least its age. The nose is quite intense, and comprises liquid lemon grass suffused with lemon. To the point where there could be Clare riesling in here. The palate of this is dense rather than full-bodied; it has a thick, ripe character. There's a touch of smoky development to the flavours, not so much the classic toast though. More of an ashtray character. Acid isn't especially noticeable, rather there's more of a grapeskin/tannin furriness to the texture. Medium length finish, I guess medium/full-bodied, really, in the context of the style, and a medium length dry finish, quite flavoursome but not especially complex. Might still improve, but I'd suspect more broadening flabbiness will take over before any extra dimensions of flavour become apparent.
