WineScores' Review

Classic, fresh, lovely.
Choosing a red Burgundy isn't an easy task without a good deal of knowledge of the appellations and producers, prices aren't conducive for a try and see. So a moderately priced and approachable Bourgogne like the Couvent des Jacobins would be my easy recommendation under $40. The 2022 has quite a plush and fragrant nose of cherry, raspberry, vanilla, violets, pipe tobacco and cedar. It has good guts; lovely red berry, fine spice and tea flavours lead the palate. It starts out silky then gathers grip across the palate. Quite a substantial Pinot but with good classic Pinot bones. The finish trails tealeaf, cocoa, leather and spice flavours.

WineDiva.ca was launched prior to WineScores, in February 2004. WineDiva is the alter ego of Daenna Van Mulligen. She wears a cork tiara and is proof that a girl can have her w(h)ine and drink it too! WineDiva.ca is a tongue-in-cheek approach to a very serious passion for all things wine. WineDiva’s goal is to make wine fun, subtly educational & deviously inspirational. Vintage reciting wine snobs need not apply. WineDiva is painting the wine world pink and drinking it all in, and her glass is always (at least) half-full.

WineScores is the more serious follow up to WineDiva.ca. WineScores was born from the demand to see wine writer Daenna Van Mulligen provide scores on her wine reviews. These are numerical scores based on a 100 point scale – an internationally recognized form of rating wines. These numbers provide a snapshot for consumers on how the wine reviewer views the overall quality of the wine. For more information on scoring wine, go to “about”.
