Community Tasting Note

mphatic Likes this wine:

Wednesday, July 15, 2020 - Screwcap, 14.5% alc. Dark crimson with youthful highlights.

Smoky, brambly, and savoury red with a stalky influence. Opens up very reductive, however after a day it clears up and emerges beautifully. Raspberry, star anise and some dark spices come to the fore.

Resolved, dusty tannins. Has a real presence on the palate, yet retains excellent balance and composure. Impressive length. Relatively lean through the mid-palate, it then fans out at the back.

Opinion: A lesson on how to do whole bunch fermentation well. It’s difficult to take my nose away from the glass, however the moreish palate helps. Could very well age further, maybe even another decade, however it’s showing so well now; why risk it. I’ll be drinking over the next 5 years. Give it a decant and go.
