Community Tasting Note

Saturday, December 10, 2005 - A lovely brick red colour, with a little lightening at the rim. Wonderful developed nose of brambles, leather, aged cassis & oh-so-typical cigar box. The palate shows these developed notes, with soft fine tannins and a lovely even balance all across the palate (OK, the back palate is a little soft). It's a mid-weight wine only, but the finish remains very persistent. Wonderfully drinkable now, though may hold for a few more years. A pretty good save from a mostly mediocre vintage. A very satisfying drink -I reckon there's way more interest in chasing wines like these at auction than the latest blockbuster Barossa shiraz at $100+...
