Community Tasting Note

Friday, February 10, 2017 - Quite dark in colour with reasonable depth.
The nose leads strongly with herby fruits (more red than black) backed by smoky tar and violets.

Medium bodied palate, a little youthfully juicy / slightly confected, which should settle down with 2-3 years more age. Acidity in firm support and the light tannins are mostly hidden behind the fruit. Some smoky bitterness emerges on the finish, pleasing enough.

Quite a refreshing wine to drink now, with the twist of bitterness on the finish adding interest / keeping a savoury element. My gut feel is this should be more interesting 2-3 years from now and could potentially improve beyond that.
