Community Tasting Note

ilee Likes this wine:

Friday, January 10, 2014 - Rummaging around the vintec for something to drink on a Fri night, I found this and the good wife said "why not?" so out popped the cork and splish went the wine. Beautiful dark purple, very dark nose of black cherries, meats, mingling of spices, tobacco tar, quite a lot going on here. On the palate this was somewhat heavier bodied than I expected, quite complex though also quite dark and brooding. The mid-palate and finish are not quite as silky and densely packed as one might find in the top vintages, but overall the wine is very enjoyable and we're not exactly asked to pay the full Guigal fare here. Not the kind of wine to buy in bulk I think, but the odd bottle is certainly well worth the experience and contrast...
