Community Tasting Note

Soteriologist Likes this wine:

Monday, September 1, 2014 - Grabbed this at a supermarket promotion of 4.99 €, one of the most ridiculous qpr I have ever seen ! At that price: buy ! Impossible otherwise to get something like this under 10 €.

Given the price I had to control myself and not give this a 90+ rating in order to express my enthusiasm. But since the rating should not express the qpr, I had to give it an 89 based on the slightly watery, thin quality on the palate.

Glass: dark ruby to violet. Nose of dried fruit on a base line of strawberry with some cinnamon, including loads of tobacco / cigar box too, making for a very warm, dark and herbal, spicy fragrance. The palate is a straightforward and earthy extension of that, and apart from the watery aspect keeps the nose's promise.

Beautiful also to get such a fruit induced impression of sweetness from a wine that at a residual sugar level of 6 g/L is moderately dry.
