Community Tasting Note

Friday, June 17, 2005 - Dusty mulberry and mild plums, soft tannins and attractively faded red fruits. Faintly coconut oak is discreet. Mid weight, yet beautifully balanced. Needs no apologies. From a wine list, and prompted by Stuart Gregor's comment in the Murdoch press in May. A very good wine, and indeed not requiring the "for a merlot" postscript to any compliments. Will live longer, but at peak now, I think. Much more satisfactory than a rather charry and hot 2003 d'Arenberg Footbolt Shiraz consumed afterwards, which was crude and simple in comparison.
