Thursday, July 7, 2016 - Appearance: Bright and clear, it has deep ruby color, with fading rims and legs.
Nose: Clean, with medium intensity aromas of black fruit of plum, blackberry and cassis, oak notes of cedar, mineral notes of earth, pungent spice of licorice, maturity notes of tobacco. The wine is developing.
Palate: Dry with medium acidity, the wine has medium tannin of ripe and silky texture, the wine has medium alcohol, medium body and medium intensity flavors of black fruit such as plum, dark cherry and blackberry, oak notes of cedar, sweet spice of cinnamon, kernel notes of chocolate. The wine has a medium finish.
Conclusion: Good quality Australian Bordeaux blend with a reasonably intense nose showing fair degree of complexity, the wine has good balance and elegance, with proper acidity and tannin and typical characters of concentration and a decent finish. Overall a wine of good balance on all fronts, it is ready to drink now though can benefit from further ageing of another 1-2 years.
