Community Tasting Notes 25

  May 1, 2022 - Wafts of high alcohol and stewed fruit on the nose as you open the bottle hints at 1-2 hours of breathing in the bottle before consuming.
  Nice strong aromas of jammy blueberries, smoke and spices.
  A beautifully smooth and mellowed Shiraz, with tannins all integrated. There is also not much acidity left given the back vintage and so in a way it becomes a bit too straight forward.
  The well rounded sweetish finish makes this a beautiful company to spicier foods.
  I would like to try a younger vintage to see if it would show more structure and complexity.

  July 12, 2020 - Super McLaren Vale Shiraz.
  Oodles of mulberry and blackberry with just a touch of raspberry. Tannins fully integrated with a smiggen of acidity holding it together and a hint of clove at the finish.....simply super!

  October 13, 2017 - Drink up now and enjoy. Much better than last bottle. Let breathe for 1 hour beforehand and be well rewarded with traditional McLaren Vale Shiraz.
