Community Tasting Note

Glenn Gilbert Does not like this wine:

Friday, May 1, 2020 - 13% alcohol; imported by Vintus LLC, Pleasantville, NY; real cork with a maximum wine penetration of 2 mm, medium to heavy weight foil; medium legs, cherry-cola red; opened and kept in the fridge for 24 hours; nose of alcohol, vanilla & caramel that is just starting to turn rancid, also blackberries & raspberries; tasted at approximately 13 degrees C; there is a unwelcome astringency to the wine, reminiscent of gooseberries but stronger, that funnels an unbalanced sour/dry combination toward your throat; the fast finish remains sourish & tannic; you would think that grapes and winemaking from the foothills of Mt. Aconcagua no less, scarcely 13 km from the Pacific, could do better; emblazoned on the foil is James Suckling's 92; what wine did he get?
