Community Tasting Notes 25

  December 1, 2023 - I seemed to enjoy this slightly more than the average of folks here. New world with definite old world sensibilities (i.e. not overdone) to my taste. Not super complex, but quite enjoyable for me.

  November 5, 2023 - Fresh and somewhat simple. Pizza wine or dinner-with-friends. At least it’s not jammy and over extracted, like Australian wines of the past.

  October 23, 2023 - Australian and new Zealand tasting (Copenhagen): Tasted 10 different cuvees from Leeuwin Estate and Felton Road.
  
  This wine: Aromas of green pepper, mint. Savoury in style!

  September 7, 2023 - Fresh and lively as someone else wrote - I agree. This is a slightly restrained version of a cab and very nice. Some brighter, lighter fruit. Cheers!

  September 3, 2023 - Decanted. Fresh and lively, but still youthful at six plus years. Black currant, blackberry, black cherry and plum are framed by lots of un-integrated structural elements, i.e., acidity and tannins. Slightly hollow at mid-palate. Needs time to come together, but this might end up being pretty good. Hold, or drink short term with decanting; cellar through 2035.
