Tasting - Ksana Bonarda


The Vintage Cellar, 4/18/13


Name:  Ksana Bonarda
Variety:  100% Bonarda
Region:  Mendoza
Country:  Argentina
Year:  2008
Price:  $9.95
Public review:  "The bouquet is floral and lightly jammy, with berry armoas and a savory note or two. To the uninitiated, this is a great introduction to Bonarda.  Finishes solid.  Very sweet, berry smell with some rooty undertones.  Kind of dry, makes your lips pucker."
My review:  Delicious dark berry and chocolate nose.  Would taste delicious with dark chocolate.  Great balance; dry and retains dark fruit taste.  A little bitter.  Unique, like nothing I've ever tasted before, and very good.
With food?:  No
Did buy?:  No, but only since I was already buying 2 others.  Will go back for this one!
