Winery Tasting Notes

Notes Image

Tom 1998 is a deep black-red with crimson-ruby hues, very deeply satisfying dark berry, savoury, slightly leathery scents - I think of the leather of pressed merlot grape skins - and quite a savoury flavour profile in which oak plays a big part adding a dark leather and spice cedary flavour to the dark berries.

A piece of rare venison sweetens the wine in the mouth and cuts through the strong powdery tannins.

There's a long solid, creamy textured ripe berry and spice flavoured finish and a long and satisfying after-flavour lifted in its fruit profile and complemented by the spicy oak and savouriness.

This is a good food wine and was delicious with accompanied with Denver leg venison with a cumin and pepper crust and a cauliflower puree, a Duck confit with mushrooms and a balsamic reduction made with a merlot jus and even a lighter style fresh mozzarella and ratatouille tart.

Tom is made from a blend of 50% Merlot with 28% Cabernet Sauvignon and 22% Cabernet Franc. It was made using Bordeaux-influenced winemaking techniques that have evolved from the technical relationship that Montana has had ongoing with Domaines Cordier since 1991. The wine was aged in oak for 18 months, blended, bottled and bottle aged at the winery until release.

Cellar Condition

Provenance; “Place of origin; derivation”

  • The history of the ownership of an object, especially when documented or authenticated. Used for Artworks, Antiques, and Wine.
  • The records or documents authenticating such an object or the history of its ownership.

Whenever you buy wine there is an inherent risk, as wine is a perishable good regardless of whether it is sealed under cork or screwcap. At GraysOnline we minimise the risk to you by providing as much information as possible regarding the provenance of the wine we sell.

We take the time to individually inspect each bottle and photograph it so you know exactly what you are buying. All Private Cellar wine stored at GraysOnline is kept in a temperature controlled wine storage area. Any wine that doesn’t meet our quality standards will not be sold.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Wines displaying a 5 star designation are recognised as being of proven quality provenance, our team has verified that the wine has been stored correctly from original purchase straight from the winery, documentation, where possible, has been sighted and cellaring conditions have been inspected. This wine generally comes from only the best and most respected of wine collectors in Australia.

★ ★ ★ ★

Wines displaying a 4 star designation have been cellared correctly as verified by the current owners. In general these wines have been purchased from retailers or traders and stored in cellared conditions from original purchase.

★ ★ ★

Wines displaying a 3 star designation are in good condition when we inspect and we are able to confirm some cellaring conditions but we are unable to verify all ownership and storage conditions of their history.

A wine displaying no stars doesn’t mean that there is a problem with the wine, it simply means that we have been unable to verify provenance, however a quality image is always available for the purchaser to make their own purchasing decisions.

Private Cellar wine is wine which has been stored for aging purposes in a Private Cellar.

Storing the wine and allowing it to age has the potential to improve the quality of the wine. While wine is perishable and capable of deteriorating, storing the wine can alter the aroma, colour, mouthfeel and taste of the wine in a way that may be more pleasing to the taster.
