12/18/2023 - willpluc Likes this wine: 88 pointsi liked it immediately. No qualms about giving it an 88. it holds it well. nose to me was unremarkable. a big phenolic. very gentle though. mouth feel was very nice. smooth easy silky. taste very mild, easy, not for the real cab sav hard core. it's easy gentle and very good. I pared it with a healthy choice meal Beef Teriyaki. it was perfect. for the price. excellent. no complaints. I wish the astringency was a little more there. for 8 bucks. it's a home run. |
