Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

92 Points

Friday, March 11, 2022 - Cork in good condition, and decanted off the sediment.
Medium+ colour, garnet with some browning.
Nose was intense with: sweet blackcurrant; sandal wood; pomegranate.
High alcohol but well balanced and warming. Full bodied and opulent. Medium+ tannin. Medium- acidity.
Prune and mulberry flavours with a long finish.
This is better than just describing it as a big aussie wine done well, however, it would be better with some more acidity and some more tertiary flavours. It has several years ahead of it.
Put the remainder in the fridge and had the next day. Less aroma and more flavour. Green and black olives on the nose. Black plum flavours.
