LA POSTA |
| This appealing, entry-level, crowd-pleaser has a very deep intense purple colour. The nose is spicy and very juicy - shades of raspberry jam. On the palate it is dry and medium to medium-light bodied, with those spicy, juicy, bright, raspberry fruit flavours with a lingering, crisp, unoaked finish. Not much complexity or even mouthfeel, it’s easy to drink. Suggesting that it’s worthy of an astronomical 93-points, however, may well insult some experienced professional tasters. The 2014 that last appeared in Vintages on August 6, 2016 at $15.95 which seems to me to be a much more appropriate price for what’s in the glass. At the same price in today’s release, Australia’s MITOLO JESTER CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2018 offers much more well structured, rich, ripe fruit. |

| TASTING NOTE: This has such interesting, sweet and fragrant, violet-like florals with rich purple fruit and a faint, stony edge. The palate is very plush and rich and the velvety tannins carry so long and even. Black-cherry and cocoapowder finish. A more serious vintage for this wine. Drink or hold.
