Community Tasting Note

94 Points

Sunday, December 27, 2009 - Opaque ruby with medium ruby rim. Very complex nose, full of black fruit (cherries, black berries, even black currants) and complemented by layers of floral, sweet spice, oaky and toast notes. Nose developing - you can see the 2ndary aromas developing, it needs another 3 years to show leathery and meaty notes. Palate is just amazing - layers of fruit complemented by sweet spice, oak and even mineral notes - tar, earth. Ripeness notes indicates this was from a very good vintage. Structure fit to support long-term ageing, tannins are medium (+) and still developing, medium (+) acidity and body. Medium (+) alcohol. One of the best Aussies ever tried. Really, really good. Went well with meat balls, however, the wine is absolutely ok to be consumed solo. Cheers!
