Community Tasting Notes 5

  August 25, 2018 - Dark fruit, meaty notes, rosemary and thyme, dark chocolate. Supple tannins on the palate, good backbone. Definitely not a fruity Shiraz, with a restrained nose and plenty of savoury flavours. Under Diam.

  November 2, 2016 - Blackcurrants, plums and savoury spice on the nose. Similar on the palate with a medium finish and smooth tannins. It just seem a bit disjointed to me, with the initial taste not matching up to the finish. Hopefully it'll get better with more time.

  May 15, 2016 - Opened this after the last person reviewed this and I have 5 bottles left so.
  On my first taste after opening lots of perfume unpleasant was not sure.
  Left it in a decanter for 1 hour and started to fade away. Pleasant sweet fruit good structure true out the palate not a $50 wine but good. I think I will leave my remaining 4 alone for at least 2 years.

  May 9, 2016 - This is very French, and a 93+/100 (3.9/5.0) from me. This Shiraz hails from McLaren Vale, but it tastes like its from Rhone! This Nick Halesgrove wine is matured in American and French Oak for 26 months (20% new, 80% seasoned). Halliday gave it 93, noting in March 2015 that it needed "time for the various components to get to know one another".
  
  That seems to have happened, as sweet blackberries and plums juxtapose against savoury rosemary, sage, lavender, peppermint and black pepper notes on the bright nose and medium-bodied palate. No great length, but very drinkable.
  
  At just under $20 from VinoMofo ($50 Cellar Door) it's a great buy. I'll space the other 5 over the next 4 years and see if they develop any further. They are certainly in their drinking window now.
