Community Tasting Note

• Rolle27 Likes this wine: 94 points

  August 25, 2018 - 100 points from parker, 99 points from suckling .... seriously?
  The perfect wine? From people that have tasted Saxum JBV 2007, Conterno Barolo 2004 and Latour 1982.
  The short version is - this is a great BBQ and steak wine.
  The long version - this is a great BBQ and steak wine.
  No, this is not the perfect wine. And Parker and whomever will never rate this 100 points if they don´t have some kind of interest in doing it. Final.
  
  But, don´t blame the wine - it is actually a fine and decent relatively simple wine with silky tannins, dark berries, mushrooms and herbal notes. Linear, vanilla oak and ripe friut (malbec?). Hard not to like, but no way near a perfect wine and shouldn´t really be compared with the big guys. It is not fair to the wine.
