Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
LAKEVIEW CELLARS |
A SIXTH REPEAT of the 2017 (***) that was originally released on October 16, 2021 at $39.95 and is now $29.95 for 200 ml. Here is a previous review from December 17, 2022.. Medium red colour with a very attractive nose that is fruit focused, mostly ripe, plummy, warm strawberry pie and vanilla ice cream. Sweet, medium to medium-full bodied, harmonious, gently spicy, bright, ripe, strawberry pie flavours with a lingering, bright, vanilla-driven finish. Quite delicious and ready to drink now, it has 11% alcohol and 199 g/L residual sugar with an important hefty 10.4 g/L total acidity. You may wish to open the box when purchasing to make sure that you are getting the correct 2017 vintage. |

TASTING NOTE: Deep, rich burgundy colour in the glass with a bold nose of ripe black cherries, black currant jam, cherry kirsch and raspberry tart. It's luxurious, complex and rich on the palate with velvety texture, compoted dark berries, sweet cherry/raspberry jam and a long, lush finish buoyed by mouth-watering acidity.
