Comments on: Aleksander Estate Baco Noir 2008 http://www.essexwinereview.com/2010/03/aleksander-estate-baco-noir-2008/ Reviewing 399 Wines From Lake Erie North Shore & Pelee Island Sat, 04 Feb 2012 22:58:10 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Gary Killops http://www.essexwinereview.com/2010/03/aleksander-estate-baco-noir-2008/#comment-373 Gary Killops Sun, 21 Mar 2010 18:53:36 +0000 http://www.essexwinereview.com/?p=1128#comment-373 Although the notes printed on the label are almost identical to Aleksander's 2007 Baco the taste of this vintage is very different. The 2007 vintage was excellent with BBQ'ed steaks, this one is more a pizza wine. The nose screams of ripe red fruits, red licorice, some earthiness and something sweet (sweetness). Interesting and complex. Taste: Similiar to the nose. some of the sweetness is picked up on the tip of the tongue. Good balance, and a hint of tannin picked up near the finish. Yes this is a nice "pizza wine". Some thoughts on this wine. I think this wine will fall into the either you like it or not club. Those who like jammy baco's may not like this one. It has some sweetness that will separate a few. It's worth a try, especially those who are not big Baco fans, this one may change your opinion.
