Padthaway, South Australia
Decanted about ten minutes before we sat down.
Dark red, almost black, in the glass.
Veggy, mint, cloves, some odd fruit that I can't identify and chocolate on the nose.
Tangy, mint and cool menthol, quite rich, black cherry, chocolate, medium weight, peppery, roasted-charred notes, cloves, spicy, good acidity toward the end.
With time, the wine became tangier, pepperier, and took on more of an edge, coming close to being shrill.
A tangy, slightly bitter, finish.
A very unusual, and enjoyable, wine.
Purchased at $27.95 (Canadian).
