Wednesday, June 29, 2022 - D3 DipWSET STILL WINES - Prep with Lauren and Mike (Mike's Place): A: Deep ruby
N: Medium (+) nose of smoke, plum, prune, black cherry, lavender, clove, eucalyptus I thought but it was green bell pepper,, Mike got earth, I got a bit of cedar
P: Dry, medium (+) acid, medium (+) silky tannins, high alcohol , full body, medium (+) intensity, and medium (+) finish
C: The heavy cooked fruit here is made less cloying by the balance of medium (+) acidity,. There is complexity here and a fine finish and concentration. Its a very good quality wine which would be better if it had a longer finish and or a more pronounced intensity,
Suitable for ageing.

Guesses:
It was an Aussie shiraz but confused by the absence of black pepper

Mistakes:
The herbaceous aromas were very apparent. Had a moved those to the capsicum category, I would have guessed the grape. Its a lovely example of a Coonawara cab. Maybe there was green bell pepper and a touch of eucalyptus here.
