Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
NORTON |
Extremely deep intense purple colour. Very faintly sweetish, dilly, spicy, baked plum nose with some peppery notes. Fairly dry, medium bodied, very spicy, somewhat peppery, herbal, baked plum flavours with a lingering, somewhat tart, fairly bitter, cedary finish. Has 13.5% alcohol and 2 g/L residual sugar with lot number L640917 on the back label. Tasted twice. This 2014 does not live up to the tasting note appearing in the Vintages Catalogue. The 2013 (*/*+) was released on June 11, 2016 at $18.95. |

TASTING NOTE: This has a silky mouthfeel, with rich, plush flavors of boysenberry, dark currant and black olive that carry plenty of creamy accents. Features dark chocolate and Asian spice details on the finely textured finish. Drink now through 2020. Top 100: 2016, Rank: 74. Smart Buy. Score - 90 (Kim Marcus, winespectator.com, Nov. 15, 2016) |
