WARPA!
|
Yes indeed I've tried the wine on a pre selection for Wine World Taster of the Year 2003. This was the wine we had to discuss blindfold. After the discussion I had the chance to pull back to the bottle and noted the grape: indeed it was a Canadian Baco Noir, also the first Canadian wine I've tasted.
Now I haven't put this rating in Warpa, I don't know why, sorry guys. But in my notes I have found my rating for this wine, but I can't put it in Warpa because I don't know the producer.
So what do we have here? A violet red wine, quite deep colouring. Fruity a bit foxy nose, different from most other wines we are used to drink or taste. Very acid taste with red fruit, quite simple structure but not bad. Serve at 14°c and you have an original summer wine.
So anyone else has experiences with hybrids or Baco Noir in particular. Also I have looked in my information books and I see that 400ha of Baco Noir is planted worldwide. There's also a white mutation Baco Blanc which was used in the 70's and 80's in France for distillation especially in Armagnac. Baco Noir was also planted to make Vin De Table Francais but as you know Vin De Table is gone, as are most of the hybrids in France, even Aramon is mostly gone, what a difference with the mid 80's!
But that's in fact an other discussion.
