Tight and focused wine with very fine definition. Slightly stalky aspect to the nose was off-putting, but the lean fruit quality was admirable. Backwards, and in need of age, this had a lot of excellent aspects, but was let down (for me)in terms of the flavour profile. So, very good, but not outstanding, for my palate.

Michael & Vivian Family House Warming Party (Henderson, Auckland): Medium depth ruby, dull. Clean nose, dark cherry, earthy and smoky. Fresh acidity, firm tannins in the core, a little alcohol warm, subtle oak in finish. Slowly developing in glass, nice blossom after half hour. Enjoyable now but still young.
Ap 4/5, Ar 12/15, Palate 16/20, Overall 4+4/10 Total: 90+/100

Kraftig bouqet med gode krydderier. Gode taniner. Kraftig - god smagsfylde.
Drikkemoden nu men prøv og giv den et par år mere
