Community Tasting Note

Monday, April 18, 2011 - C: Beautiful, bright red. A bit lighter than I remembered the first bottle being, and definitely some caramel colouring on the edges.
N: First of all, bright attack of red fruit. A very obvious cowskin ("barnyard"), which I don't remember from last time. Very appealing, but blows away quite quickly. Also, a clay-like note, almost like hands covered in moulding clay.
P: Light/fresh mouthfeel, nice cherries on the first attack. Minerals and spices (clove/rose peppercorn?) on the mid-palate. Finishes with very sour cherries, and balanced and soft and slightly dry tannins.
F: Went extremely well with lamb cutlets marinaded with olive oil, paprika, red chili powder, oregano, thyme, basil, sugar, salt and black pepper, served with roasted red onion and large tomatoes.
