Community Tasting Note

89 Points
Sunday, September 24, 2017 - Decanted for around two hours before consumption
An initial taste showed quite tight & youthful
Softened & opened with time
Blackcurrants, blueberry, olive, leather, pencil shaving.
Tannins starting to recede.
Very nice but perhaps a touch one dimensional
Certainly no rush but I'm not convinced it will reach any lofty heights

Could be a case of lofty expectations given the pedigree of the producer & the vintage in WA.
