- wickmans - 02-23-2007 The nose is dominated by rich, dark mocha and a dusty perfume of intense plum and rasberry aromas. The palate is long and elegant with blueberry, coffee and aniseed the predominant flavours and a hint of dried fruit on the finish. The entire package is framed by chewy tannins and tightly knit chocolate/vanilla oak. (95 Points) Cheers Mark Wickman - winoweenie - 02-23-2007 Again nice notes Mark but it would make for more interest if you posted the retail for these wines and if they're available here in the US. Cheers, WW - wickmans - 02-24-2007 Not sure I know what you mean. Do you want me to include the retail price ? I actually don't have that info on many occassions and would nopt know where it could be obtained in the states, although I suposse I could post a link to winesearcher. com if that doesn't infinge your posting rules ? ------------------ Cheers -Mark Wickman - dananne - 02-24-2007 Yes, the approximate retail price is, by informal custom, typically included in tasting notes. I know when I read a tasting note, I want to know whether it's a $15 dollar wine or a $50 dollar one. Likewise, many like to know whether a wine is distributed where they are -- if it isn't, then you don't end up on some wild goose chase looking for something that isn't available. Of course, sometimes you don't know one or the other piece of info (if a wine was a gift, for example). In that case, oh well. By the way, a belated welcome to the board. - Drew - 02-24-2007 The 2005 is around $60 and a WA 93...it is a 80%/20% shiraz/cabernet blend. Drew - oostexan - 02-24-2007 ...and its really damn good. A 93 is too low. - wickmans - 02-24-2007 Sorry, it is a blend. Hasty notes ! - brappy - 02-24-2007 I second the "Damn Good" comment..... - newsguy - 02-27-2007 i'm sitting on a six-pack of the '04. this is a major fruit bomb in the best sense. will likely open a bottle later this year. |
