Chateau Xanadu
Margaret River
$50.00 (15 years ago)
Clear, bright colour no sign of age
Nose: Restrained earthy fruit
Palate: Creamy finish on back
24 Hours later
Very tight wine well put together.
Vibrant fruit now showing through, still quite young and fresh finishing with a creamy texture and pleasing fruit acid.
The wine is 16 years old and shows no great sign of age.
I would liked to have given the wine a further 24 hours to open up even more and see what it had to show, but I drank it all.
