Mornington Peninsula, Port Phillip, Victoria, Australia
Dark ruby to garnet. Black pepper, really spicy and smoky. Pyrazine, tart to ripe black and blue fruits. Elevated drying tannins on a long finish. Elevated acidity. Little minerality if not none.

From an area better known for its Pinot and Chardonnay. Northern Rhone spicy and meaty notes. On palate fruit is too restrained and a little lean. Acceptable quaffer.

May 7th, 2017Beginning to wish i didn't open this soon. Still feeling quite restrained, there's somr bright acidity to it and fine tannins. Interesting in the sense that there's no obvious primary fruit jumping out of the glass however the aromas are very seductive. Aromas of roasted meats, fennel, anise, wood fire, roasted parsnips, savoury spice and the feintest of ribena and underripe blackberry poking through. Palate is very dark and a small bitter chocolate comes through with sour blackberries.
