WineScores' Review

Impressive, fresh, silky.
A partnership between Baron Benjamin de Rothschild and Laurent Dassault Flechas de los Andes comes from Vista Flores in the Uco Valley of Mendoza. Made entirely of Malbec it's showing impressive freshness having been aged for 8 years.
Cherries, blackberries, leather and brown spices, vanilla, chocolate, tobacco and dried herbal notes lead to a supple palate. It's silky and buoyant, complex and has generous fruit. The tannins are chalky and the finish is long and trails mocha and spice.

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”.
