Community Tasting Note

Saturday, February 9, 2008 - After having a wonderful time dumping both the 1999 and equally horrible 2000 Coufran down the drain, I was a bit peeved to have the 05 come in this months KL wine club shipment. Fortunately, this one shows that even these guys can make at least a drinkable wine with the 2005 crop. The color is actually quite a nice deep and nearly opaque red with some raspberry liquor mixed with a gravelly minerality on the nose. Fruit doesn't show through as much on the palate as you would expect from the nose and considering that this is 85% merlot, I would think that it should definitely show much more fruit. As time went on it didn't change much and even started to thin out a little. Overall it is a drinkable wine but nothing special and I would not purchase it again. At least it didn't have to go down the drain.
