Community Tasting Note

Thursday, September 18, 2014 - The wine is clear and bright with a pale tawny colour and presence of dense legs. The nose is clean and developing, showing medium(+) intensity aromas of baked plums, cherries in liqueur, anise, cedar, tobacco, nail varnish remover and hints of leather. The wine is dry in the mouth with a medium acidity. It has medium(+) fine-grained tannins and a high alcohol. It has a medium(+) body and medium(+) intensity aromas of baked plums, cherries in liqueur, anise, cedar, tobacco, nail varnish remover and hints of leather. The finish is medium(+).

It is a very good quality wine with a nice fruit concentration and finish, and some degree of complexity provided by oak ageing and maturity notes. However it should be even longer, even more concentrated and even more complex to be considered outstanding. Can drink now, but it has enough tannic structure and flavour concentration to develop a bit more of tertiary aromas over the next 3-5 years.
