Top Notes For
Flora Bokma

This is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. Knowing that, I would have expected to be more jazzed by this wine. But, for me, it falls flat. Looks pretty in the glass... sort of a dark burgundy with slight amber hues. The aroma sends out more earthiness than fruitiness. Hints of mint and stone and nutmeg and maybe underripe plums? Rolling it on the tongue is quite disappointing. No beauty to the feel of it. It kind of suggests moldy oranges with its dry acidity. Note to self: do not purchase!
