Community Tasting Notes 4

on the wine wrote: 88 points
February 20, 2012 - Showed a slight amount of bricking around the rim but little other sign of aging. Bright burgundy red in colour. Not jammy or viscous in texture. Bright acidity made it seem bordeaux-like. Flavours were mainly plum, cherry and red currant. A little short on aftertaste. Has at least 3-5 more years of life ahead - a testament to the effectiveness of passive cellaring!

November 11, 2011 - Mid Nov 2011: rubin red color; cacao, mocha and mint, later accompanied by cherry; like noble After Eight dark chocolate liquor on the palate; slightly tannic; round texture.
See others rated this wine with an average 88 point score. However, the bottle I encountered provided me extraordinary enjoyment: therefore 96 points. -
