Community Tasting Note

Monday, February 7, 2005 - NobleRottersSydney - Lots of birthdays this year (Lucio's, Paddington): Pale red. A lean stalky nose has a distinct medicinal note. There’s some sour cherry fruit, but a real greenness pervades the nose. On the palate the wine is tart and angular, harsh and, most of all, hot. Weighting in at 14.0%, it’s remarkable that Leeuwin managed to find so much alcohol, yet so many unripe flavours. It simply lacks the fruit to cover the crude bony structure. A wine to stand up to a hot curry and win the fight!
