Community Tasting Note

Vino Loco Likes this wine:

Friday, October 8, 2021 - Old world cues from this BC Bordeaux blend. Medium bodied. Mild nose, didn’t get much in the way of fruits on the entry but has a nice lingering finish.

I drank it along side a 2017 La Frenz Grand Total, which is my go to BC Bordeaux.

Nose - La Frenz is more vibrant.
Entry - La Frenz has more notable fruits - blackberries, cherry. The Red Icon is not very fruit forward.
Finish - The Red Icon has a much better finish. The Grand Total has a bit of a burn and dissipates quickly.

Overall - both are both fantastic BC blends, but need more time - in particular the Red Icon. For $20 less, Grand Total is better value. Enjoy!
