Community Tasting Notes 5

    March 4, 2017 - Light in style, forward and fully ready to go, with its fresh, cherry and tobacco character. Softly textured, this is best for early drinking.

    November 23, 2016 - Retailer tasting. The wine was medium ruby in colour and offered a classic if undefined Bordeaux nose of red and dark fruit, some cedar and vegetal notes. On the palate the medium- to light-bodied wine showed pruny fruit, some cedar and vegetal notes, with medium-level acidity and tannin and average to short length. The tannin seemed underripe and the alcohol came through on the thin and drying finish. Not a fan.

    August 10, 2016 - Full body, deep crimson color. Elegant black fruits and floral aroma. Dewberry and black currant on the palate, medium long plummy finish. Rich and bold but still fresh and juicy, silky texture, complex and well balanced, wild berries acidity, gently tannic. Food friendly, best match is roasted meat. Serve 16º - 24º. Open half hour in advance. Drink now and next four/six years.

    December 1, 2015 - Quite good bordeaux i must say, for very little price. Not that deep but well balanced, good structure. Got everything of a bordeaux just in the light version. Really good value, price adjusted it actually deserves 90 pints.
