Sourced from Perth Hills fruit. 13.7% alc. Drunk over two nights.
Purple black in colour. A ripe nose of red berries, cherry cola and violets, with some accompanying mocha and vanilla. Some of the aromas are showing development, and the fruits are not particularly primary, but evident nevertheless.
The palate reasonably balanced - the relatively modest (by PV standards, anyway) alcohol combines well with the line of acid and the flow of fruit and chocolate across the palate. Tannins are modest and integrated. The wine is medium to full bodied, not full-blooded (which some PVs can also be) and the finish is only just medium length.
Probably at its peak - I don't think this is going to get any better. It's certainly at a point of relative balance at the moment.
Cheers
Allan
