2002 Scarpatoni Cabernet Sauvignon/Shiraz School Block (WIML86,NOWA,NOWS)

Tasted October 16, 2005 at a retail tasting so brief comments. Opened and served immediate in Riedel restaurant line Syrah glasses. Dark purple in the glass, clear hue throughout. Closed nose that gave up a few floral notes when swirled. When it first hits the palate you think “Is this Robitussin?” Other than that all I could get out of it was red cherries. Balance seems OK though. Short finish. Drink now or possibly hold a year or two and then retry. Not recommeneded in my book.

funny, my notes are that this was a good QPR
