Community Tasting Notes 2

April 13, 2008 - Second time I tried it. Red fruit/leather nose. Black/purple. Exploding black cherries, currant with a touch of olive. Full bodied, creamy texture. A sweet sensation ("only" 13.8% though). A very long finish of pine/cedar, mocca, chocolate and licorice with tea leaves sneaking in on the end. Somehow a bit heavier than I remember it last time, very good, but creating the after-feeling of "I just ate too much of that delicious chocolate brownie..." At NIS 69 shelf price, excellent value for money.

February 18, 2007 - 90/10 Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot. A slight new-car aroma on the nose, fresh plum/cherry fruit with a bite of cedar wood/pine forest. Espresso, mocca, some asphalt, fresh lively and clean, light sweet tannins leading to a long lingering finish. Not tasted blind, but the "Giovane" name reinforces an impression of Italian wine making influences. A bit more than $15 in Israel and good QPR.
