Community Tasting Note

Mrbuzz Likes this wine:

Friday, October 23, 2020 - Just like the 02 did a few years ago...the last 01 of a case is going out a winner! I have enjoyed these wines from day one immensely...but with the cork closure there have been some poxed bottles. Last bottle I had was in 2011, and it was ok, but not a great one like in 2010. 9 years later...another great one! Tight squeaky cork...golden metallic color, yet a clean, no pox nose. Rich and creamy pitted orchard fruit like peach and apricot...as well as a little tropical flare of grilled pineapple...integrated with age, shows some dried honey sweetness...yet still has a good dose of citrus acidity that freshens with pucker. Love the exotics in this...hot buttered rum spice, marzipan, toasted marshmallow, match strike...well balanced vanilla oak...chalky minerality, sea salt caramels create wonderful salinity to the rich fruit. Just fantastic! Refuels my passion for these wines...the Coche down under! Can imagine the screw cap versions, on younger vintages, are even better.
