Mistral Cabernet Sauvignon 2004
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaStewed overripe nose that is a bit on the foxy side. Similar stewed almost Amarone-like fruit characters. Intense over-extracted flavours that exhibit little finesse or style. Round and dense but lacking freshness. Needs food and already at this point, drinking. Second bottle deteriorating with more oxidation 3 months later.Tasted: 20 January 2007Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $24.90 | 750ml | winery direct, VQA wine shops |
