Written Notes

Bright reds. This has both richness and balance with a lovely supple texture. Attractive fragrances. I wondered whether it might have been a Curly Flat wine but not so. It has a pleasing sweet core of fruit with notes of red fruits, roast meat and campfire. A hint of oak but everything is very well integrated. Really impressive wine. There is good length and it finishes with soft tannins though right on the finish, they did seem to firm up a touch. Lovely wine from the Mornington Peninsula.
