Community Tasting Note

Friday, February 5, 2021 - {screwcap, 13.5%} Deep garnet. Largely youthful nose of leafy basil, blackberries, touch of cedar oak. Palate is sweetly ripe in a new world way, avoiding dead grape flavours, with blackberry jam flavours, soft oak, low/medium acidity and gently dusty low/medium tannins. Medium weight, with lots of presence and flavour up front, but it struggles to follow through with depth of flavour and length of finish. Medium length finish at best. Will hold, not sure there’s any true development of complexity to come. 12% merlot, 6% Malbec and the rest cab sav. You get the sense that after all the other Treasury premium brands have had their go at Coonawarra fruit, someone picks through the leftovers for this tribute to the 20th century...
