Kaesler, Barossa Valley, "The Bogan" 2005

Purple/black.

Huge pool of aromas - toasted coconut, spicy/peppery jammy black fruit.

Sweet, loaded initial mouth impression, shows a bit of alcohol, but just a bit. All over the mouth, grainy extract and sweet fruit slugging it out. I need stuff like this every 2-3 months - is it going to get better in the bottle? Whatever.

Forgot - 16% alcohol

Day 3 - Nose completely melded now, no alcohol in sight. All kinds of things aromatically - mint, toast, black raspberry, earth ... Still huge in the mouth, with fresh red and black raspberry ruling. Still a hint of alcohol. Fun, deep stuff. Get laid.

$60? gift
