Tasting-Ksana Bonarda


Name: Ksana Bonarda
Variety: 100% Bonarda
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2008
Price: $9.95
Shop review: The bouquet is floral and lightly jammy, with berry aromas and a savory note or two. To the uninitiated, this is a great introduction to Bonarda. Finishes solid. Very sweet, berry smell with some rooty undertones. Kind of dry, makes your lips pucker.” (Vintage Cellar, Blacksburg VA)

My review: This wine had a rich red violet color, and a strong smell of acetone, berries, and spice.  The smell reminded me of a spiced potpourri.  The taste had little tannins, and was very bitter (it was like swallowing a vitamin D or Prednizone tablet, for those who know that medicine).
I drank this without food.
