Community Tasting Note

70 Points

Sunday, March 30, 2008 - South African Wines with Peter Morales of 57 St. Imports; 3/28/2008-3/30/2008 (Butler College, Princeton University): From a tasting given by Peter Morales of 57 St. Imports.

COLOR: Medium.

NOSE: Pyrazine. Not much else.

Medium acidity. Very little tannins. Some residual sugar. Not a great finish. Pazzz

NOTE: During the casual tasting afterwards I tasted several more reds and isolated a menthol/eucalyptus tone in almost all of them. I cannot recall whether this wine had them, because I was not looking for it at the time. I believe this is a common tone in South African wines.
