2019 Te Mata Estate Coleraine
Community Tasting Note
jsperl Likes this wine:
Saturday, June 4, 2022 - Didn't have a chance to taste this in its year of release so this was already cellared for a year.
A beautiful burgundy colour, polished sheen, still obviously youthful. Vanilla and aniseed are the dominant notes, but overall a muted nose. Hopefully it develops with age.
The palette on the other hand was surprisingly smooth and mellow for such a young wine. Beautiful red berry flavours, a hint of mushroom, chocolate, blackberry, boysenberry. Some nice tanning structure to give it some body. Looking forward to seeing this develop.
Tasted at the same time as a 2015 and 2020 and this held up against the 2015 quite well given its youth. Lots of promise. Acknowledging it's had the benefit of an extra year in bottle, it also shows a lot more potential than the 2020 at this stage.
