Winery - Glen Carlou
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
The nose starts with a delicate aroma of minerals, black currant and spice, and on the palate, layers of anise, cracked pepper and clove add a soulful touch. Sturdy tannins and a vibrant overall fruit profile give the wine a lift, but the package is balanced and smooth.

This assertive wine has spicy notes of chocolate, mulberry and oak on the nose, and ripe berry and clove flavors on the palate. The mouthfeel is full and round. The wine is rich and balanced but needs some time.

Citrus and grassy notes lead into a somewhat one-dimensional tropical fruit and spice flavors. The finish is round and lingering, but overall, the wine needs more character and substance.

Plantain and banana bread seem pleasant enough in the nose, but the wine turns a bit sour in the mouth, with overripe melon and a soft mouthfeel. Imported by The Hess Collection.

Here’s a riper expression of South African Chardonnay with forward aromas and flavors of baked pear, apple cider and walnut skins that linger through the buttery finish. Round and full in the mouth but not flabby. Drink now.

Apple, pear and nectarine fruit scents lead the nose of this wine, with a touch of raw almond contributing a gentle nutty accent. Medium weight with great vibrancy and freshness, a lively sweet citrus core lifts the palate and remains through the close.

Dark red in color, this Bordeaux blend offers sexy aromas of chocolate and cigar box, and has earthy flavors of forest floor, tobacco with a nice spice. Aside from a bulky feel in the mouth, it’s got the whole package, including firm acidity and dry tannins. Imported by The Hess Collection.

Spicy blackberry and vanilla starts this savory, rich Syrah from Glen Carlou. On the palate, lush blackberry is laced with meaty, balsamic and smoke flavors. Rich and mouthfilling, with a touch of lively spice.

This blend of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Malbec, 14% Merlot, 13% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc offers a minty character that prevails among the intense black plum and berry aromas and flavors. Well-integrated, with a decadent crushed velvet texture and a long oak-kissed finish reminiscent of dark chocolate-covered cherries.
