Community Tasting Notes 4

BoireBio Does not like this wine: 73 points
February 7, 2013 - 12/20 * * LCBO:15$c
VISUEL: rubis au pourtour légèrement violet
OLFACTIF: sucré/épicé avec une forte odeur de clou de girofle.
GUSTATIF: le clou de girofle persiste bizarrement.... je soupçonne un vin trafiqué par des levures et des ajouts synthétiques et peu fiables. Un Zinfandel ne peut goûter cela.
ENSEMBLE: louche..... -

June 1, 2011 - Decanted with the Vinturi and allowed to open up for 45 minutes.
Color: Deep garnet.
Nose: Not much fruit on the nose. Some spice and pepper.
Body: Medium
Taste: About what one would expect from the nose; that is, a little spice, a little pepper, not particularly fruity. Little to no structure, which isn't a surprise at this price point ($4.49).
Finish: Short, not much finish.
Overall: Pretty average offering for the price point.
