Wine Reviewed
Chateau Ksara Reserve du Couvent 2009 13% alcohol about $15.
Let’s start with the marketing materials. “Description : This wine won a Silver Medal at the 2011 Decanter World Wine Awards. Tasting Note : Well made wine with pronounced blackcurrants on the nose with a hint of spice and menthol. Still very young but great potential. Score – 4 Stars (out of 5). Decanter World Wine Awards, 2011).” And now for my review.
At the first sips this wine was very, very long. It was mouth filling and multilayered. When I nibbled on Japanese rice crackers black cherries joined into the mix. The meal consisted of ground beef with salsa sitting on a bed of whole-wheat pasta. This libation offered delicious acidity and menthol. It was so long. A generous portion of Chinese hot sauce brought out the taste of metal in the juice. It was dark but still too sweet. Fresh blueberries for dessert removed that sweetness from this libation whose power remained.
