Stefano Accordini Acinatico Ripasso Valpolicella Classico Superiore Doc 2009

lcbo old world wine- italy 2/8
This is an unfortunate result- the descriptor is EXACTLY what I would usually ask for in a wine but the actual tasting was "meh".
deep ruby colour, woody, wet cedar, sweet on smell.
-medium to firm tannin with long finish, medium body , sweet with dry finish.
-vanilla and sweet red berry . Smokey with NO hints of pepper or spice.
woodspice, rustic wine- good but.probably would not purchase.
I think this is the case of just not liking Italian wines.

Dont like Gewurz- but I would be interested to see how this one ages.
Apparently they get quite spicy.

Louis Latour Chardonnay 2009

Fairly forgettable.
Thurlow's ". Not very exciting but correct. " is a pretty accurate description.
Would not purchase again.
For a French Burgundy it tastes a lot like a whatever- American unoaked or steel oaked chardonnay

Baden Pinot Noir

LCBO Old World Germany 4/8
A good pinotvery light- good value for germany
I find this is a good example of a having that clause "good...for germany". German wines are rather rare creatures- small vinyards, low production. So it is good value considering German wines can be quite pricey considering low-production.

Would purchase IFF I wanted a light red from Germany.
