Community Tasting Notes 7

• Jason Wu Likes this wine: 93 points

  August 11, 2021 - Appearance: deep Ruby
  Nose: medium plus intensity; aromas of toast, tobacco, cloves, blueberry, dark plum, dark cherry, cassis, black olive, meaty. It’s developing.
  Palate: dry, high acidity, high tannins chalky, high alcohol, full body, medium plus flavour intensity, not as complex as on the nose. Medium plus finish.
  Overall, it’s a very good wine. Can drink now, has potential for further ageing.
  Delicious wine. Some development on the nose. The palate is not as distinctive or defined at this stage, but the finish is quite persistent. Great with steak!

  February 5, 2021 - {screwcap, 13.5%} Deep garnet. Largely youthful nose of leafy basil, blackberries, touch of cedar oak. Palate is sweetly ripe in a new world way, avoiding dead grape flavours, with blackberry jam flavours, soft oak, low/medium acidity and gently dusty low/medium tannins. Medium weight, with lots of presence and flavour up front, but it struggles to follow through with depth of flavour and length of finish. Medium length finish at best. Will hold, not sure there’s any true development of complexity to come. 12% merlot, 6% Malbec and the rest cab sav. You get the sense that after all the other Treasury premium brands have had their go at Coonawarra fruit, someone picks through the leftovers for this tribute to the 20th century...

  November 28, 2017 - Whistestop Hunter tour (Hunter Valley): Ahh, smells like Aussie Ripe Bordeaux blend. Blackcurrant, berry, oaky spice over cream, vanilla and slight pyrazine Also some ripe black and blue plums. In the mouth it's juicy with a similar fruit profile here. Tannins are grainy and drying but the ripe fruit persist and there is plenty of alcohol warmth on the finish. It is what it is.
