Community Tasting History

Community Tasting Notes (average 89.1 pts. and median of 89 pts. in 34 notes)

 Tasted by frommen on 2/8/2010 & rated 89 points: Full and rich with notes of rosemary, blueberries and cherries. Expressive midpalate but ends a bit thin. Great! (51 views)
 Tasted by AndersZ on 2/4/2010 & rated 89 points: Herby, fresh and smooth. It's lacking structure and tannins but has a beautiful composition where the alchohol kicks in to provide adequate but not an overly impressive length. (323 views)

 Tasted by AndersZ on 1/9/2010 & rated 88 points: It starts as one of the better CnP from 2007 with nice concentration, spicy flavours and some tannins. However, the finish is really short which holds back any higher points from me. Still amazing value though. (718 views)
 Tasted by mikdal on 1/9/2010 & rated 89 points: (577 views)

 Tasted by Christoffer78 on 10/18/2009 & rated 89 points: Popped and poured. A true "good value for money" wine... Lots of fruit, black pepper, balanced tannins and a pleasant finish with a touch of heat. Give it some air before drinking. (1808 views)
