Friday, May 22, 2015 - Black Lion Wine Club - New World/Old World Comparisons (Jon Penny's House): Appearance: The wine is clear, medium ruby
Nose: The wine is clean with pronounced complex aromas of baked jammy black fruit such as bramble, blackcurrant, herbs such as dill, dried fruits such as raisins, oak such as toast, vanilla and smoke, spice such as pepper and cinnamon. The nose is developing.
Palate: The wine is dry with medium acidity, medium soft, ripe tannins, high alcohol, full body, and pronounced flavours of jammy black fruit, raisins, toast, cinnamon, pepper. It has a long finish.
The wine is outstanding. The high alcohol is well integrated and the pronounced flavours are balanced by the acidity and tannins. It is complex due to the primary, secondary and tertiary flavours and it has a long finish. The wine can be drunk now but has potential to age further for up to 5 years.
