2014 Neyen Espiritu de Apalta

Community Tasting Note

Does not like this wine:

86 Points

Friday, December 22, 2023 - Starts impressively enough, with a beautiful Cabernet-dominated nose. Initial sips also featured some classy Cabernet Sauvignon fruit. But as it evolved in the glass, the Carmenere asserted itself. Instead of adding structure, its intense iron ore flavor took most of the pleasure away. I put the rest of the bottle away for the night, but on the next it started the the way the previous one ended. The rest is destined for a sauce. Disappointing, especially given the price point.
