Community Tasting Notes 7

  March 9, 2016 - Colour shows significant browning. Nose of red cherry, nutmeg powder, rhubarb, and kindling. Slightly stale, but deep. Palate shows powerful, Shiraz-like fruit flavours (red cherry, raspberry, rhubarb), but also a stale touch of oxidation. Good structure, with fine-grained tannin and strong acidity (bitter, but not totally unpleasant). One of the more interesting wines we tried tonight.

  July 9, 2012 - Dark central otago nose, with brandy christmas cake, cranberry and earthy notes. Blackberry character, slightly higher alcohol with a full mouthfeel showing clay soils. Stunningly silky and concentrated.

  December 27, 2011 - Brought to a party. Wonderful nose, full of fruit. Quite serious and austere in the mouth - did I not breath enough?

  April 26, 2011 - Just gorgeous with it's freshness of color and aromatics pushing bright yet lush blueberry, cherry fruit and black pepper forward hinting at a bit of earth. The acid here is bright yet balanced. The finish lingers quite a while. Reminds me of Willamette's Domaine Serene style of PN. More bold with depth yet possesses finesse.

  December 31, 2010 - Nice red purple color. Although not a finesse type, it is ripe with refreshing black fruit, rich but well supported by acidity and tannin. Finishing is adequate though fall below anticipation.
