Shop/wine
critic/Winery Review: Superb dark garnet color with a few reflections of
dark orange. Intense nose of ripe fruits, spices, and roasted coffee. The
palate is rounded and full, with silky matured tannins and hints of vanilla.
This wine is rich and powerful with layers of tannins.
My
Review: Finally
we got into the reds for the day. This
one is a pretty standard wine from France with a GSM blend. The smell was interesting in that it smelled
like flower pollen. You know when you
get a bouquet for something special and you stick your nose right into the
flowers and you get the pollen on your nose, that’s what it smelled like. It also has a spice component but a spice
that is normally associated with a sweet dish like cinnamon or cardamom. The smell was very intriguing. The taste was a nice full body with nice
tannins on the finish. The spice was
very nice addition to the taste because it wasn’t over powering or bitty. But in the end, it was good but not my
favorite.
