G'day
I last tasted this a year ago as part of a vertical tasting. The group tasting note at the time was:
Ripe dark fruits on the nose, especially blackcurrant, along with bay leaf, tomato leaf, cassis and cocoa. The palate was juicy with plums and red fruits, and has a velvety texture. Acid appears a little softer, with fine grippy tannins, and in comparison to the previous wines, this has mellowed. Medium to full bodied, and a long finish. Well regarded by the group.
This time, red fruits and violets are starting to emerge on the nose, alongside the blackcurrant and the bay leaf, tomato leaf, cassis and cocoa. The palate remains juicy, with the red fruits more to the fore, and vanilla / spice notes noticeable. Tannins are fine and moderately grippy, and the wine has satisfying length.
Plenty of time ahead of it.
Cheers
