T’was an unexpected wine soaked Saturday. First, a friend came over for a tasting of 16 wines from Argentina, Spain and Bolivia – yes I did say Bolivia … there’s some impressive wine coming from this South American country, especially from a winery called La Concepcion. We sat down afterward for a bottle of Michel Torino’s 2006 Don David Malbec, which turned out to be marginally corked, no vibrancy to the fruit, odd mouth feel, off smelling – this wine, when I originally tasted it, was just so full of life, I can’t say the same for this bottle. Time to find something else.
Searching a drink now portion of my cellar I located a bottle of Lucky Country 2006 Shiraz ... (speak about Shiraz, see how I managed to bump into Shiraz Mottiar of Malivoire Wine Company and ended up tasting through some of his wines)
