Bennett Lane Maximus
Hi folks
So here's my short impressions of this wine, and an open invitation to
those who like it to tell me why.
2003 Bennett Lane Maximus red. Described on the label as a red feasting
wine. Sounds like fun... Cabernet, Syrah and Merlot blend. Looked
very promising upon the pour. Deep, rich color, but the nose was very
sweet and grapey. A small taste showed the problem - this has got to be
the sweetest red wine I have ever tasted. Definitely some chocolate
notes in there, but the sweetness was so off-putting I didn't continue
with this wine at all. This wine supposedly scored 90 points in Spectator.
