Comments on: Gary Vaynerchuk Club B – June 2009 http://tv.winelibrary.com Wine news, tastings and reviews from the Wine Library Sun, 22 Nov 2009 10:04:20 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Phredd http://tv.winelibrary.com/bclub0609/comment-page-1/#comment-663609 Phredd Mon, 06 Jul 2009 15:29:41 +0000 http://tv.winelibrary.com/?page_id=3304#comment-663609 Finally had the chance to taste all three. Neither my wife nor I was a big fan of the Caro Dorum Crianza. It seemed very harsh to us. Extremely drying on the finish. We decanted ahead, but it just wasn't enough. Maybe with another 3-5 years, it would soften up a bit. The Misterio we both liked a lot. Great purple color. On the nose we both picked up raisins or dried blueberries. This wine was very delicious on the attack, then moved to an interesting tea mix on the end. The finish was very short, though. We also really like the Marques de Vitorio. Color was beginning to show an orange tint on the edges, as appropriate for an older wine. For me, the nose was cherry pie with vanilla icing. Loved it. The attack was broad, with a creamy center, and the finish was long and smooth. Cherries on the outside of the mouth, and I did agree with some of the graininess up the middle, as well as a dollop of whipped cream. We agreed that we wanted the flavors of the Misterio with the smoothness and finish of the Vitorio. Good pack, overall. Great contrast in styles with a varietal I don't try all that often. Didn't like it quite as much as last month, but enough to make me look forward to the July pack. Finally had the chance to taste all three.
