Community Tasting Note

Darke Peak Likes this wine:

Friday, August 14, 2020 - PnP. Medium colour. Great from the start but continued to develop with each glass. Dark cherry, some herbs and forest floor. Fruit is noticeable but not sweet. Tannin is extremely well integrated and doesn’t stand out, definitely present but can’t tell if it is skins, oak or stem dominant. There’s a slight bitterness which sometimes accompanies a short palate, but not in this case, it has great length. Drinking well now and should be good up to 2025. Note to self: can’t recall trying the Cornish before this bottle, suspect this label will have a distinctive terroir - try a vertical of 3 vintages spread over 6-9 years.
Gassed the last glass in the bottle overnight. Day 2 it was still good but the bitter palate was more noticeable and it seemed shorter.
