Month: October 2007

Ooooer, a nice tannic wine, hard to describe due to length of time that has passed since I consumed this one (a habit I am fortunatly getting out of – have about 3 months worth of shelf bottles to get through today). Check it out – won’t appeal to everyone, but if you like Petit…

Tasty drop not too sweet for a desert wine though. Been a looong time since I drank this one and can’t remember much other than it being very nice and not over poweringly sweet. A pity that the Racked Semillion is all that you’ll get from Coriole at the moment.
