Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
FINCA SOPHENIA |
Very deep intense purple colour. Spicy, baked plum-cherry nose with some cedary, dilly, caraway notes. Dry, medium bodied, very spicy, dilly, plum-cherry flavours with a lingering, somewhat cedary, caraway-tinged finish. Has 13.5% alcohol and 2 g/L residual sugar with lot number L-7228 - 7279 on the back label. You can safely ignore the ludicrously high 96-point tasting note from Oct. 2017 appearing in the Vintages Catalogue. The preferred 2014 (**/**+) with 88-points was released on June 24, 2017 at $18.95. |
