Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
CHAPEL HILL |
Extremely deep intense purple colour. Complex, spicy, cedary, intense, ripe plum-cherry purée nose. Dry, medium-full bodied, smooth, intense, fairly dense, ripe plum-cherry puree flavours with a lingering, crisp, very faintly smoky, cedary, high acid finish. Has 14.5% alcohol and 2 g/L residual sugar with a screwcap closure. Even better than the recommended best buy 2013 (***) with 90-points that was released on March 5, 2016 at $26.95. |

TASTING NOTE: Dense, inky purple-crimson; absolutely achieves expressing 'a profound sense of place'; unctuous black fruits swathed in dark chocolate drive the bouquet and medium to full-bodied palate with relentless precision, yet keep balance and length. Oak and tannins are part of the package, but you sense them, rather than feel their impact. Carries its alcohol with ease. Drink By: 2034. Special Value. Score - 95 (James Halliday, winecompanion.com.au, Sept. 27, 2016) |
