Friday, July 18, 2014 - Blind Tasting Friday session at ES (Extra Space): Tasted blind. Popped and poured.
Appearance is clear, medium intensity, ruby colour.
Nose is clean, medium intensity, with aromas of capsicums, peppery spice, and a mix of red and black fruits. Developing.
On the palate, dry, medium+ acidity, high alcohol, smooth easy medium+ tannins, medium body. Medium flavor intensity, with flavours of capsicums, peppery spice, plums, blueberries, red cherries. Medium+ finish.
Good quality. Intriguingly, this was better the last time I had this. Today, this was elegant, but seemed to be a little dilute and hollow on the mid-palate, and I didn't like the capsicums.
