Community Tasting Note

Monday, March 8, 2021 - What an incredible wine. At first glance we were a bit worried, the cork broke, and the wine, when poured through a filter was a deep golden colour looking unpleasantly like a dehydrated sample....However from first nose it was evident that this was a wine of great development and robust flavours but still in perfect condition for its age. A big ripe nose of peach, nectarine, toffee, macadamia nuts, a real feel of a sweet wine/botrytis although I don't expect there could have been any.
The palate was equally rich matching the nose but there was still a good core of acidity which kept the wonderful tropical, dried fruit, nut and burnt vanilla flavours in balance. What a riot! Drunk with a shrimp risotto and was a perfect combo with the intense flavours of the dish.
It was very hard to tell whether the acidity is going to drop off markedly over the next few years, so I would advise drinking soon if you are lucky enough to have a bottle.
