SALENTEIN |
| One of 72 items (60% of 136 releases) not presented for evaluation under new LCBO policies. Any item not tasted is assigned an interim ZERO-STAR (-) rating and an interim 0-POINT proxy score until properly assessed. The 2016 last appeared in Vintages (**/**+) on January 19, 2019 at $17.95 and was Recommended Best Buy. Here is my previous note: Extremely deep intense purple colour. Fairly intense, slightly spicy, ripe plum-cherry nose with some cedary notes. Dry, medium to medium-full bodied, quite well structured, spicy, ripe plum-cherry flavours with a lingering, high acid, gently cedary, very faintly herbal finish. Has 13.5% alcohol and 5 g/L residual sugar with lot number LET18065 on the back label. A GOOD BET |

| TASTING NOTE: This offers some ripe dark-berry and plum aromas with an edge of black tea and crushed purple flowers. The palate has a super smooth, juicy and flavorful core of smooth tannins, carrying dark-cherry and plum flavors. Drink in the next four to six years. Score - 92 (James Suckling, jamessuckling.com, March 27, 2019) |
