Community Tasting Note

Saturday, July 5, 2014 - Lazy Afternoon at Alex's (Alex and Fiona's in AMK): I feared for the wine on first sniff - it smelt old and tired, with Chinese herbs and sultanas at the forefront, chased by deeper plums and a flush of tobacco alongside. The palate was still very alive and very enjoyable though, with lovely juicy acidity running through sweet notes of cassis, flowers and spice, along with a slight earthiness at the finish. Still lots of lovely bright fruit I thought, with only a slight edge of dried sultanas and a complete lack of tannins marking out its age. It lacked some complexity, especially given its age, but this was very enjoyable. Good time to drink now.
