Community Tasting Note

Shrewsram Likes this wine:

Thursday, June 1, 2023 - A touch more reticent than Awatea but deeper, with greater density and a greater sense of breadth. No edges but a certain maritime freshness and very ripe, pure cassis fruit. Black cherry notes, some darker plumper fruits and something that makes me think of graphite (but not) framing it all. Poised, focused.

Light side of full-bodied, silky, with a sense of bass, and more harmonious than Awatea. Fine spicing, some toasty new wood, lots of super fine chalky tannins. I get a little numbing spice, there is a lovely freshness, lots of blackberry fruit and a fragrant violet and chalky Cab Franc signature. Long and tense. Should cellar very well.
