This bottle is not too bad for a Cabernet but it lacks in the long finish. It ends with more of a dry finish. average but considering what we had previously in SG, it’s not too bad. somehow cabernet souvignon tasted better in california.. =)
Much like the house wine u will expect on the table.
Had another bottle of Bordeaux from France (of cos!). I actually got another bottle from London too which is still sitting for the right occasion to pop. My intrigue with Bordeaux started from the class i took in London which talks about the commercialisation of wine and how it all started from Bordeaux. Wanted to visit the chateaus of Bordeaux the last i was in Europe but just didn’t had the chance and met pple who might have similar interests.
Anyway, this bottle is not that old and will consider it pretty average in taste. The taste of Bordeaux is distinctively different. It has this strong taste which is not too oaky and stronger on the tanins end.
The reviews at NTUC were not bad. Got this bottle for about $26 and it indeed is bang for the bucks!
This vino tainto (red wine) has a long finish and comes from manteca, california which is quite close to san jose. Though i recall seeing Gnarly Head in the supermarkets in Cali, didn’t know it was actually made that near to where we were staying then. =)
It’s so hard to get good and cheap wines that taste good. Definitely rate this as one of the best value for money bottle wine in SG. Nothing beats 2 US$ chardonnay and cabernet souvignon at trader’s joes!
There seems to be quite a variety of zinfandels (blanco o tainto) but they’re mostly more fruity and a good start for the newbies. =)
