  February 12, 2018 - WSET Level 2 - Day 1 (Pialligo Estate, Canberra, ACT, Australia): Clear deep garnet with tears.
  
  Clean developing nose with a pronounced intensity. There are well-defined aromas of blackcurrant, leather, cooked green capsicum, mint, and subtle cloves and juniper.
  
  The wine is dry with medium acidity, medium alcohol, and medium(+) body. The medium level tannins are ripe and fine-grained in nature. The flavours have a medium(+) intensity and follow the nose with notes of blackcurrant, capsicum, and cloves. A subtle raisin note shows on the palate that was not detected on the nose. The finish has a medium(+) length.
  
  This is a very good quality wine. The flavours are very concentrated and have an amazing balance with the alcohol and the acidity. The ripe tannins have a great balance with the acidity. The well-integrated oak treatment complements the flavour profile. The wine is very drinkable, has great varietal expression, and has a finish with great length. In its current state the wine shows primary and secondary characters, but will develop complexity in the years to come.
  
  The wine drinks well now, and is suitable for further ageing.
