  Medium ruby with low viscosity (12% ABV). The nose has medium intensity aromas of red plum, ripe pomegranate, black raspberry, cocoa powder and bell pepper. The palate is dry with medium acidity and low tannins. A light body makes this a very pleasing and easy to quaff red that has flavors reminiscent of the nose that carry through to a slightly tart finish that is thin and short. Folks- this is a sub $8 per Magnum bottle of wine. It serves the purpose and I will be reducing it for gravy and stock to braise my lamb shanks in. It would do the trick at a summer BBQ outdoors. It gets 82 points from me with a drink now window. 4 stars believe it or not.

  2/5/2022 - Sourdough Does not like this wine: 69 Points

  Blatantly mediocre! Talented wine making dealt with the flaws leaving a wine with minimal nose and liitle character. I feel like I sense that this had VA and was fixed. A long and strange metallic aftertaste just lowered the score and moved it from mediocre but tolerable to undesirable. Avoid. Note: this bottle was in the Bahamas and heat may have impacted it but it does not taste like it was cooked.

  Vansana Plain of Jars hotel, Phonsavan, Laos.
  Plain, serviceable nv CS served (as often in these parts) distinctly cool. As a former French colony you'd think they would know better!!
