Recently, all the reds I have tasted were mediocre at best, so I was worried that my tastebuds might have gone awry. Hence I brought the Sandocino in for a calibration test. If even this one fails to impress me, then I am going to give up wine tasting, period.
Luckily, I did not have to give up wine. The Coturri Sandocino tasted better than ever after all those mediocre reds.
...I could chug the whole bottle right now.
...on a 2nd thought, chugging a whole bottle of the 14.5% alcohol content wine is probably a bad idea - it is not quite Friday yet.
*sigh* I guess I will have to practice some self control....
Nose: rich, deep, velvety, and layered aromas. Strong notes of dark chocolate, roasted hazelnuts, and coffee
Tongue: rich, bold, creamy, and full-bodied, with velvety tannins that wraps around your tongue (mmmm!). Very balanced, juicy. At first spicy, cinnamon-y, juicy, and fruit-foward, with an earthy coffee-flavored finish.
Price: $20! (or...priceless)
Rating: 4.9/5 (I am reserving my score of 5 until I have tasted the rainbow)
and what are you doing just sitting there?! Go get your Coturri Sandocino!
This one sounds so good, sadly it isn't carried by my local inebriant emporium. :(
