  2/16/2018 - Bearbus Likes this wine:

  Dark berries, blackberry and blackcurrant, overipe rockmelon, pretty vanilla that weaves its way around spices (pepper), liqourice and cigar box. Mouthfilling and rich with fine textured tannins yet also fairly light, the tannins anchors with a slight bitter (95%) chocolate flavour, powerful fruit and spice, dried brown blackberry leaves, the oak is a little prominent on the palate, tart fruit, paperbark eucalypt flavour, pleasantly slightly drying palate. An impressive combination of power, lightness, tannins and driving acidity, complexity, nice palate progression. This is actually very good, but also an adolescent. Would love to see in 10 years' time

  Restrained nose. Red berries on the palate, pleasant taste, not much length or complexity. Not a good QPR.
