WineScores' Review

Savoury, ssubstantial, character.
The primary source of grapes for the Max come from the Errazuriz Aconcagua Valley estate, 90 km north of Santiago. It was aged in French oak.
Expect notes of smoked plums and black currents, dried bayleaf and pepper, black chocolate, charred herbs and toasted spices. It has notable salinity in the mouth along with black fruits, tobacco, dark mocha and brown spice. The tannins have chew and there is a brooding character here. A substantial wine with balanced acidity--a meat wine.
Second review: November 2023
Spiced plums and bitter chocolate, bay leaf and roasted bell peppers, espresso and black currents. The palate reflects the savouriness of the nose; plum and bay leaf, spice rub and coffee with bitter chocolate finish.

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”.
