Community Tasting Note

70 Points

Tuesday, October 4, 2011 - - Crimsom color with fast forming legs and aromas of prune and plastic. It's unbalanced and has flavours of dusty and blackberry with a light/medium body. Coarse texture with a short finish - Not very remarkable. Odd aftertaste and a quick finish, which is good. ( I don't have to deal with the after taste very long). somewhat fruity, and maybe a little of prunes. Which dark berry mixed in. Not really woody, more dusty to me and it tastes rather chemical. All in all, I think it will go the way of my last bottle of chuck...down the drain (the Pinot noir was one I had a while ago, and was totally bored with it, this one is not much better). Good if all you want is a cheap drink. But even my Riedel glass isn't helping this much at all.
