HOMBO SHUZO |
| This is one of 75 items (134 releases) not presented to taste under new LCBO policies. This REPEAT last appeared in Vintages (***) with 90-points on September 2, 2017 at $94.95. Here is my previous note: Light orange amber colour. Attractive, slightly spicy, bright, faintly honeyed, ripe plum-caramel nose. Dry, medium bodied, well structured, harmonious, ripe plum-caramel flavours with a lingering, fairly high acid finish. This was apparently originally scheduled to be released at $69.95, but somehow ended up at $94.95. The current average price in the US is $62 CND and it is available in Alberta for as low as only $50 while Legacy Liquor Store in BC sells it for $120.35! |
