2009 Calem LBV
Unfiltered. Deep red, crimson and opaque. Strawberries on the nose, floral and elevated. Aggressive entry, powerful and with dry tannins that overwhelm the fruit. Very tannic in the mid-palate, tannins which don’t really soften; strongly acidic. Needs a few more years to see how this evolves but is clearly made in a style that will benefit from cellaring. 89/100. Tasted 02-Mar-16.
