Community Tasting Notes 2

  June 5, 2017 - It has so many fine powdery sediments that the wine looks cloudy out of bottle. But once the sediments settle, it reveals clear light brick red colour.
  
  Once it is out of bottle, it has intriguing calvados flavours (tart, apple-ish flavours). After two hours of aeration, nice floral, woody, leather, earth, dried spice and black fruit flavours slowly emerge. Although it has a calvados-like alcoholic kick, it's gentle and measured. But it is not particularly complex and finish is medium (+) at most.
  
  Considering the fact that I bought it for about US$55, it offers a highly interesting drinking experience. But it's not a particularly fine wine.

  December 10, 2015 - Dark brick red in colour, clear and very weighty. Strong fruity nose, apple orchards, woody, and a boozy Calvados like aroma. Full mouthfeel. Full-bodied, appley, woody, hints of spice and a background of ripe soft fruits. Long and lingering finish.
