Knew that would get you looking! Another mystery wine for you forumites to try to figure out so let`s get going. 13.5% alc, SC.
Colour. Medium purple red with watery purple hues on the rim. Not much intensity in the centre here.
Nose. Freshly crushed fruits ooze out of the glass. Cherry, plum, no oak I believe and as it breathes some savoury, gamey blackberry. A very nice fruit forward nose here.
Palate. Initial mouthfeel entry is soft tannins, some acidity on finish, savoury and juicy ripe berries. As it warms up (good idea to serve this slightly chilled), boysenberry, spice, blackberry, "plum and cherry" thought fellow taster.
Old world it ain`t, opened 4 hours but drinkable on unscrewing I`d say. Good fruit concentration here but not as savoury as a previous vintage and this lacks the sour cherry too. Do not expect too much change overnight, will report back.
So there you are forumites, will be in and out today to see how we are making out!! Oh, cost was under $20 Cdn and went quite well with a roasted BBQ duck, parsnips and roasted pots.
Procedure is for vintage, grape varietal and area of production/winery too if possible.
