Community Tasting Note

Saturday, July 23, 2016 - {cork, 14.5%} Handsomely garnet, but just showing some age. The nose offers the typical sweet twist of Tahbilk's better shirazes, with liquorice and jammy raspberry aromas. These are in the palate too, but there's a raisined, slightly dead grape quality to the flavours. This is exaggerated by the fairly high alcohol, which really mars the finish. The wine is medium-bodied, increasingly warm on the palate, with low/medium powdery tannins and medium acid. It's OK, but not outstanding. Should have been picked a little earlier. I don't see any benefit in keeping this further.
