Coravin fun - Bordeaux (My place, Burwood): From Coravin. Gamey and meaty, slight oxidation lends caramel, austere blackcurrant, plums, cedar, a little backing spice, touch of blood and leather. That oxidised note translates to the palate but is a minor distraction from the fresh red and black fruits, slightly minty notes, silky tannins, all travel long...In a good spot but probably time to tidy up based on those oxidised notes.

Lovely cedary nose once its had 30 mins in the decanter. In the mouth it's pleasant enough with tertiary leather and some gentle spice, but all the fruit has gone. I think this would have been better 5 years ago.

Deep, brick red. Rich, ripe fruit on the nose; woody, briary, leather. Very smooth texture. Intense but not full. vibrant and fresh. Some tannins (resolved) giving structure.

Wine felt it was past its good times. The aromas were fairly thin and uninspiring.

This batch is faulty. Such a shame. 5 left. I will keep trying but not hopeful
