Tasting notes courtesy of one of our Original wine drinkers since 2010... The Legend Peter Lurie,
Blind Corner Governo 2021 – Spicy/Exotic/Expressive
This wine pours light greeny gold with orange edges and opens toasty with spice, sea spray, orange peel, peach over fairy floss intrigue
The palate is bright, crisp and creamy with apricot, lime and grapefruit melded with the exotic spices. The full and balanced mouthfeel is persistent and lingers long.
A unique wine which is expressive, interesting and complex. If you’ve not yet experienced wine heaven nirvana, this wine will likely get you there. Never have I (nor you) tasted a Sav Blanc like this
Q: Could this be Blind Corner’s Hallelujah white? (ref Leonard Cohen)
Blind Corner Field Blend 2017 – Violets/Velvet/Spice
Its deep purple in the glass with pink ruby edges and aromas of cinnamon spice, violets and red berries with chocolate hints and there’s also liquorice, anise and pencil shavings for those who explore deeper. Captivating and largely primary still with earthy wafts
The palate is medium bodied, silky and velvet with spice, berries, plums and choc integrated in a precise balanced structure being more Rhone Syrah (Cote Rotie) than Barossa Shiraz. Peak drinking now and over the next 5 years and more
A real treat from Naomi and Ben to reconnect with this wine’s journey
Out there thought: Try this wine with a Mosswood Cab 2012 and see how it
comes up
Blind Corner Bernard 2019 – Berries/Poise/Ethereal
Its medium ruby when poured with lifted aromas of red and black berries, cherries and plums which scream Wilyabrup Cabernet.
Bernard floats effortlessly across the palate like a butterfly in symbiosis with its firm but soft tannins and lingering berry flavours. The finish is firm and clean with hints of cedar, graphite and minerality
The berry and cherry characters are enhanced by the amarone/appassimento
process (drying the grapes) which is deftly handled to produce a distinct wine
of character, poise and balance.
An ethereal and approachable cabernet rather than an austere one. The 2019
Bernard sits comfortably in the long vintage line of this Blind Corner flagship
Truly wondrous and generous of Ben and Naomi and the Blind Corner Team
to give Wine Club Members the chance to ramble back in time and
experience and share these special wines
