Community Tasting Note

Monday, August 15, 2011 - While I agree with the WOFW reviewers that this will appeal very much to the "international" palate, why is this necessarily wrong when the wine is as well made and as beautiful as this one is? Sometimes it is good to be different, so long as you don't sell it as something it is not. Anyway, getting down off the soap box...fairly deep, but not fully opaque, in colour; signs of development in the mahogany rim. Birght ripe fruit nose, plenty of cherries and a menthol lift. Some savoury/roasting meat notes too. Palate is exceptionally well polished. The fruit is ripe, but held in excellent balance with the lively acidity to give it a wonderfully smooth and silky feel. A little spice, a very small dollop of cream, and an excellent length makes this a very well polished wine indeed. Has enough umph and structure to go another 5 years or so.
