Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, March 23, 2021 - Screwcap. Dark red with fuchsia hints. Some light bricking at rim.

Captivating nose with regional aromas of blackcurrant, bay, wet gravel and lots of menthol. Cedar oak notes play a supportive role, as do the redcurrant and chocolate top notes.

Not giving much away on the palate until it has seen extended breathing. The wine retains a lot of drying tannin on the short-ish finish. Much more supple, and gently fruit-filled, on Day 5.

Opinion: Good value for money. Demanding air and likely a few more years of ageing to soften and flesh out.
