Community Tasting Note

Lucia Skywalker Likes this wine:

Thursday, June 17, 2021 - It's all in the eye of the beholder, isn't it, (or the palate of the taster)?! Well... I like this wine. Still have some 2013 bottles, and recently, opened one. About 5 years ago, I wanted to learn all about reds, for which I had no taste what so ever at the time. I wrote some tasting notes in 2016, however, today, I have more appreciation and understanding about reds. So... is it good? To me, it is. Some may find it a tad sweet, but truly, it is all a personal preference. It is not goowey sweet, just right for those who do not care for a very dry wine. There is not just one version of the "truth", therefore, if you like a red that is not too dry (sour, to some of us), well, you just may like this one. Did you ever try and enjoy an Amarone? Well, you just may like this one. Purchased in 2016, it was about $11 at the time. 2013 was a great year, climate wise. It is quite drinkable - the TNs are similar from my last post, but today, with years passing, and especially with some decanting, this wine is a pleasure. It has body, it has "substance" to go with heavier dishes, and to me, a delight as a sipping wine (decanted, though), so smooth, so balanced. Definitely not a sophisticated wine, but so enjoyable! For a low price, this wine would be a nice bottle to open and just enjoy, with no prejudice. It does not seem high in alcohol, therefore several glasses can be enjoyed.
