Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 2022

8.9

This is a fine bargain wine. Tangy fruit- cranberry and orange. A holiday Yankee Candle comes to mind 🤔 A bit jagged on the finish, but pleasant enough on a cold evening.

Graves Red Bordeaux Blend 2020

This inexpensive Graves was very unremarkable. Blackberry and plum fruit, with a little graphite. This wine is very thin and flat. Would not buy it again.

You can't win them all. The music was superb, though @Steve Rura

Kansas City wine number 3. Too much oak. This is not what Pinot Noir should be. Sorry, Banshee, you lose.

The nose on this is stunning. Big and black fruit with a dollop of tar. The pallete follows the nose with blackberries, plum, dusty rock, and dark soil. An enjoyable balance of fruit and earth. Steak wine! This is excellent.

Just curious Dave, as a non native English speaker. I was always under the assumption that palette is something that a painter uses and the palate is what you use to describe the tasting sensory system. I see palette more often used in wine descriptions. Can you enlighten me?

Dave

You are correct! And I, as an English speaker, am known to misspell frequently 🤦‍♂️ Palate is correct! @Jan A

A happy amount of funk, but overall this Italian PN falls flat. It's more Cali than I hoped. White pepper, raspberry, bitter finish.

Codice Tempranillo Blend 2020

Dave

9.1

After a slew of ho-hum wines, this is very refreshing! A bit light bodied, so I didn't think i was getting much on the first sip, but it really has a nice depth of flavor and nuance. Would definitely try again with various food pairings.

@Delectable Wine this is Langhe Nebbiolo. This was very pleasant for the price. Good, bright cherries and flowers. I have no complaints.

I'm outside of Kansas City with friends tonight and I bought 3 cheap bottles at their local liquor establishment. This is cheap wine number 1 of 3. I bought it because I know Kermit's name. This is a raspberry fruit bomb. Not too bad, but kinda.
