NYC Tasted Wednesday, August 18, 1999 by mdefreitas with 645 views
Floral, tropical fruits, lime nose. Similar tastes, complex, some peaches, fruity yet totally dry and firm, with incredible acidity, almost to a fault. Granny Smith apple and pertol finish. Very nice.

Light nose, a little cloying, could use more acidity.
Complex, buttery raspberry nose. Candied cherry. Nice finish. Pleasant wine.
Cherry, tart. Nicely balanced, but an unpleasant finish. Closing down?
Rich red raspberry, earth. Good fruit concentration. Very nice.
Soft texture, easy drinking wine. Tart... too tart?
Red fruits, a bit of age showing? Lack of structure? Pleasant.
Nice, earthy nose. Cassis, medium bodied. Nicely made.
Cherry, earth. Light in style, but pleasant.
Cherry, fairly ripe. Good grip, acidic. No nose, but has potential.
Soft red fruit nose. Cherry, soft, pleasant. No structure.
Dark berries, earth on the nose, cherry on the palate. Dusty texture. Nice, but light on the fruit.
Dark red. Light nose. Roasted meats. Syrah like. Tannic, with some spice.
Cherry, ripe. Big nose but TANNIC! Needs time, but seems to show promise, if the fruit holds up.
Rich red fruits. Ripe, nice balance.
Slight chemical taste in an otherwise mediore wine.
Light nose, sweet minerals. Pleasant but simple. A little diluted.
Dark gold. Light nose, peach, apple cobbler, losing acidity. Seems to be on the way down.
