WineScores' Review

Historic, fresh, supple.
The satin look and feel bottle from Montresor stands out in a crowd. It is an historic estate, established in 1892 by a branch of the Montresor family from Orleans France--one Giacomo Montresor. A painter at heart Giacomo designed the famous bottle in 1904--combining the look of a flask and bottle. His goal, to have wine withstand long journey's at sea to America and for fifteen years he worked on sanitation and then in 1921 he developed the frosted bottle.
The wine is scented with dried cherries and prune, orange peel and cocoa nibs, balsamic, leather and tobacco. It has a fresh entry, it's supple and juicy rather than opulent with toasted spice, oak, leather with hints of dried fruits.

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”.
