"2014" Sydney International Wine Show - stewarding notes; 10/13/2013-10/18/2013 (Blue Mountains, NSW): {screwcap, 13.5%} The aromas here are of sappy cherry and strawberry syrup almost to the point of caricature. The palate is pretty dry though, has a touch of smoke and cured meats but mostly offers cherry and strawberry flavours. Not much overt oak. Low/medium soft dusty tannins, light/medium weight. Pleasant, not profound, with a short-medium length finish and not much action on the mid or back-palates. Good for 3 years, tops.
