Community Tasting Note

95 Points

Sunday, June 6, 2021 - In a very good place. Vibrant colours still, touch of fading on the rim.

Sophisticated nose. Fresh forest fruits, almost bread & butter pudding (straight out of Mum’s oven), then a touch of complexity and age, tanned leather hide, tilled earth. Seductive stuff.

Sleek palate. Nose repeats, with classic Canberra cooler climate acid tingle refreshing proceedings. Fine lines with the right degree of grip to deal with protein. For a hot year, all in order and accounted for, Sergeant Major. Great value for a ‘second’ wine.
