Community Tasting Notes 4

  January 7, 2022 - Dark ruby red, showing aromas of blackcurrant, black cherry, spice and eucalyptus. Medium bodied, pretty simple on palate, exhibit black currant, mulberry and mint. Medium finish and soft drying tannins. Granted it is better than some supermarket wine but overall not impressive and a bit boring.

  August 25, 2020 - Screw cap. Fresh, medium-high intensity aromatics lead with herbal, green pepper, and black cherry liqueur followed by cassis, wood spice, and touches of olive. It is full-bodied on the palate with herbal, dark cherry, cassis, and woodsy replays on the flavour profile. Acids are well-balanced, while tannins are slightly chalky and grainy, softening somewhat since tasting in Sept. 2019. Earthy and wood spice notes linger on the finish, with good length.

  June 18, 2020 - Medium garnet colour. Nose of strawberry and Forrest floor. Powerful and spicy on the tongue with strong tannins and acidity. The finish is long and juicy on the front of the tongue.

  September 20, 2019 - Screw cap. This has a medium intensity nose that is herbally, minty, and green, surrounding a core of cassis and blackberry notes. It is medium+ bodied on the palate with more minty green flavours mingling with blackberry, cassis, wood spice, and sweet tobacco flavours. It has food-friendly acidity and soft, supple tannins that offer a touch of grip. Earthy and oak spice notes linger on the long, juicy finish.
