Community Tasting Notes 20

  February 19, 2017 - Celebration of Life (Mike's house): This wine got its points on the nose, which is an exotic mix or orchids, other flowers, potpourri, perfume and red to purple fruit. The palate is on the thin side and ends with a slightly bitter finish. For a grape I'd never heard of, and at this price, it was enjoyable.

  April 28, 2016 - Local Natives and Hotel Biron (Hayes Valley, SF): Medium plus concentration ruby in color. Slightly raisinated ripe dark fruit. Low tannins. Slightly elevated acid. Ripe on the palate as well - feels 14%. Slight earth. Hint of wood, but mostly neutral - just a tiny note of sawdust/sanded wood.

  January 23, 2016 - From mountain viñards of volcanic soils at 2,400 ft elevation in the Peloponnisos peninsula. Aghiorghitiko is an ancient varietal also known as St. George. Skouros is located in Argos, a famed city near ancient Mycenae, where some of the Homeric heroes were from. Meh. I was unimpressed by this wine. Past its prime, and just not a very pleasant wine. It tastes tired. I paid $17 too, so overpriced. Skouras is usually a reliable brand, so this was very disappointing. I only drank one glass of it.

  January 10, 2016 - Bold, tannic but not too oaky. Dark red color, with a heavy body. A well balanced wine with some acid. Decanted for half an hour, began to take on a meaty finish after being open for a while.

  December 29, 2015 - A private lunch (Restaurant HKK *, London, UK): Pleasant enough, but not really distinctive, even if there is a touch of mediterranean warmth and herbs. Modern style, slightly lactic nose, ripe and gentle tannins from the skins, medium weight; hint of vanilla on the finish, good length.
