Brissy Xmas! Left this to long in the cellar. Don’t trust drink dates... on the cusp.

Cherries and earth on the nose. Bold cherries with hint of vanilla on the palette crisp dry finish. Excellent drop.

Mornington Peninsula (Prince Sydney, 40 Hansard Street) : Perfumed stalks red currant and cranberry but both are ripe…some sweet spice. On the palate it's juicy to the point of sourness, red currants almost immediately subsumed under the weight of ashy tannins. Nah.

100% whole bunch. Quite savoury and spicy. Plums and black cherries, savoury tannins that are well integrated, good length, good wine.
