Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

95 Points

Monday, September 7, 2020 - 5 years since my last bottle and the oak has receded into the background allowing the fruit to shine

Colour inky garnet with purple hues , brick red on the edges, wine has only penetrated the cork by 1-2mm so excellent cork quality 15/15
Nose intense black fruits currents berries, cassis cedar chocolate liquorice , violets , rich and complex nose spice leather earthy beautiful balance 29/30
Palate full flavoured rich black fruits blackcurrent black berry , silky mouthfeel good acidity/tannins on the finish oak is in the background now with hints of vanilla and coconut 42/44
Overall super aged Coonawarra Cabernet drinking at its peak . Another example of Coonawarra Cabernet needing 20years to shine 9/11
